I have a label sheet with names and addresses that was created before me,
not
from a mail merge document. The labels were just typed up. I am now
wanting
to create a mail merge letter using the addresses from the labels. I have
no
excel spreadsheet or word table to pull as the database. I tried to copy
and
paste the text into excel and a word table, but the way they are typed up
and
down not left to right it is not recogning the doc as a database. Any
suggestions.
