Breaking source link for mail merge labels
Hello,
I have completed a labels mail merge from an excel source file. The result is 41 pages of labels. I would like to sevre the link to the source and edit my labels as a word document. However when I follow the Word help instructions of going to main document set up and choosing normal word document, I only end up with one page of labels. I would like to have all the pages saved in one word document (with no link to the excel file). Please provide any tips. -- Much Thanks, M |

Thanks Marcropod.
I have run the merge. I forgot to mention that this is the 2003 version. The output when saved is alway staying linked. -- Much Thanks, M "macropod" wrote: "M" wrote in message ...

You have NOT executed the merge. You must execute it to a new document.
From the View menu, select Toolbars and check the Mail Merge item. That toolbar contains buttons that allow you to perform the whole mail merge process for A - Z, including buttons at the right hand end to execute the merge to the various possible destinations. -- Hope this helps.
