Hi Suzanne
I got it a different way I opened publisher and used their merge, it was not
displaying the zip the last time I tried, so when it asked for my data base
to merge I entered my excel file and it went in minus the zip again. So I
expanded the box and moved a colum to reveal the zip code and thats was all
that was needed to add the zip to the label. Thanks anyway
Archer

list.

I saved it as both a work sheet and tried it as a list, as well at a
different time. and tried both ways.
I have 600 names and adresses on my full list.
I need an exact step by step way to merge from excel 2003 into word 2003
labels avery label # 5160 thats a 30 label page. I have tried to do it the
way help says to do it and the labels come up blank and it does not help.
Please do not refer me to help pages, I need a step by step directions. As
