After you click on the Setup button and select the label type that you want
to use, did you then click on the Edit button in Section 1 of the Mail Merge
Helper dialog and select the Mailing Label: Document Number# that will
appear under that button. After doing that, you need to click on the Insert
Merge Field button i the Write & Insert Fields section of the Mailings tab
of the ribbon. After setting up the fields that you want in the first cell
in the table in the main document, you must then click on the Update Labels
button in the Write & Insert Fields section of the ribbon to cause the
fields to be replicated to the other labels on the sheet.

How does what you have done differ from the above description of how to go
about it?

Hi! I am trying to create mailing labels in Word 2007 using my Outlook
2007
contacts. If I go into Outlook 2007 and hit the mail merge feature, after
it
launches Word and I "setup" the document as it tells me to, the page is
blank
and does nothing. If I start out in Word using the mail merge feature, I
get
the document set up and then hit the "choose recipients" option and select
my
Outlook contacts and get the following error message:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot
fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and
set
it as the default mail client."

Now, I use Outlook Express for my email, but for the purpose of making
these
labels, I went into Outlook and went to Tools-Options-Other and put a
checkmark in the box that says make outlook the default program for email,
contacts and calendar. This didn't help, I still got the same message
when
trying to merge the list.
Is there something I'm doing wrong with the mail merge, or is there some
way
to get this to work out?
