Very simple to use

Tools | Envelopes and Labels
Click Labels tab
Click Options button
Click New Label button
Type in a name for this new label
Get your ruler out and measure:
Top margin - distance from top of page to edge of 1st label
Side margin - distance from left of page to edge of 1st label
Label height & width
Vertical pitch - distance from top of one label to top of next label 
down. If they are right next to each other then it is the same as the 
height.
Horizontal pitch - distance from left of one label to left of next label 
across. If next to each other then same as width.
Number across & Number down page.
Page size is A4.
Click OK.
Select your new label under product number
Select the tray you are using, then click OK.

Type your text in the address box or leave blank

under Print click "Full page of the same label"

Click "Print" to print straight away or "New Document" to create a 
document with the labels in it. If you do "New Document" then you can 
create the labels normally in Word before you print them which lets you 
put in logos, fancy text or whatever.

When you click "New Document" Word will create a document formatted as a 
sort of table with the labels visible in rows and columns, like they will 
print when you print the document. Format it and print it.
