Default Word 2007 Mail Merge problems with Excel file providing list

OK, in that case you probably need to "Match fields", as I said earlier:


and you will need to select the ADDRESSBLOCK field, right-click,
Edit Address Block, then Match Fields (or if it makes no difference, use
column names in Excel that Word maps automatically).


Word does not necessarily recognise the fields you have in your Excel sheet
as address fields - it only looks for certain names (and I don't know what
they are exactly)...

No. Nothing appeared.

Just this morning I tried to print labels. I used the mailmerge
wizard, or whatever Vista calls it now, and followed the steps. I
used an xls file that I created with Excel 2007. The exact same thing
happened. Everything disappears when I get to the "preview" stage and
it prints a blank sheet. I'm beginning to think it's not a problem
with the text box, but a more fundamental problem with either word
2007 or excel 2007.
