In Word, I was able to make labels through "Merge Wizard" from a table

permits letters and the Labels feature seems only to permit a page full of
the same label. Is there a way to do this?
I think so. I'm not an expert in labels, but the help text claims you can
use the Labels feature to create a set of different labels. There is a page
in the help text headed "Printing Address Labels" but which is indexed under
"labels;from databases". This provides very concise but accurate
instructions, I think. Note in particular steps 7, 8, and 9, which allow
you to create different rather than identical labels.
I trust this helps.

This tutorial may help:

The tutorial refers to making labels from database information. What do
you do to make labels from spreadsheet data?
