Mail Merge Tips

It sounds like you're on the right track with your Mail Merge, but there may be a few things you need to check to ensure that your labels are merging correctly.

1. Make sure that your Excel sheet is properly formatted. The column headers should match the fields you want to merge in your Word document. For example, if you want to merge the recipient's name, address, and city, your Excel sheet should have columns labeled "Name," "Address," and "City."
2. Double-check that you've selected the correct sheet and range in your Excel workbook when you're setting up your Mail Merge. If you're not seeing the correct list of addresses in the Mail Merge Wizard, it's possible that you've selected the wrong sheet or range.
3. Once you've confirmed that your Excel sheet is properly formatted and you've selected the correct sheet and range in the Mail Merge Wizard, try previewing your labels again. If you're still seeing "Next Record" instead of your actual data, it's possible that your labels are not properly formatted.
4. To fix this, you'll need to make sure that your label template matches the size and layout of the labels you're using. You can do this by going to the "Label Options" dialog box in the Mail Merge Wizard and selecting the correct label type and size. You may also need to adjust the margins and spacing to ensure that your labels fit correctly.
5. Once you've made these adjustments, preview your labels again to ensure that your data is merging correctly. If you're still having issues, try saving your Excel sheet as a CSV file and using that as your data source instead. Sometimes, using a CSV file can help resolve issues with Mail Merge.
