Unfortunately, there is only one way to fix this– manually. The result is that Word takes the blank lines into account when vertically centering the text in the label and it appears to be aligned at the top of the label. The first was a blank line, and the second contained the end-of-cell marker for the table– but it still acts like a blank line. Word stuck an extra two lines at the end of each of my labels. Say I created a mail-merge page of labels that used four lines. The reason they appear this way is because Word will often add some extra empty lines at the end of each label. If you are creating labels using the Mail Merge feature, however, your labels may not appear to be centered vertically. To add the address block, click Address block and click OK.

Create envelopes by using mail merge in Word. Word includes a tool that will allow you to quickly and easily set up labels. Envelopes or Labels where names and addresses come from your data source.
