Hello,


We sell books and I need to create a document that has a title with
a variable name that includes book name and date published along
with a listing of folks address in label format.


I have an Excel db document that lists names and addresses (& book
name, phone numbers, email, fax, etc).


When I create a label mail merge it doesn't let me add the title
information. If I create a letter type merge document I can't add
the label format.


A layout of the document I am looking for is:


Steve's Book
Date Published: 1/21/07


Name1 Name2 Name3
Address1 Adress2 Address3
Job1 Job2
Job3


How do I accomplish this?


Thanks,

Thanks for your response.


I have been reading on mail merge and I am requesting a little more
help.


What I have done is select the "letter" option for mail merge. I can
get the header information fine, it is the label-type information that
I am having difficulty with. I can't keep the record information
together or I can't make the records change names.


Here is one example I have is where the address information is, it
dups the same record (same name, job title, etc for both) -


«First_Name» «Last_Name» «First_Name» «Last_Name»
«Job_Title»
«Job_Title»
«County»
«County»
«Company_Name»
«Company_Name»
«Job_Title»
«Job_Title»
«Next
Record»
«Next Record»


any additional help would be greatly appreciated.- Hide quoted text -
