A simple name & address book software
« on: Wednesday 25 March 20 15:34 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone recommend a simple software solution to my simple need for a way of holding names and addresses (and possibly phone numbers) which I can create and maintain, and then submit selected names & addresses to Word for label printing?

I've looked at a few, but they all seem to imagine that I'm in charge of HMRC or the NHS and that I need lots of bells and whistles beyond those outlined above.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Is GDPR compliance an issue?

If not then just use the spreadsheet of your choice.

I agree ;D
Use a spreadsheet to store names & addresses (etc.).
Then use MailMerge in MS Word to print the labels.

Thanks.  I've given it a go, and it looks like most of what I need.
