how do I select addresses for printing labels in Word?
I've made a Word document that contains addresses that I use frequently for
labels, this way I can add/delete from the list at any time and simply select the correct information to print a label (rather than opening the labels window and typing in the address every time). Today, Word will not allow me to "pre-select" any of the information in ~ the first half of the document. The labels window shows up with an address about midway down instead (like it is the address I've selected). Any of the addresses after the certain point are fine - I can highlight the text and click-ToolsLetters/MailingsEnvelopes/Labels and the correct info shows up in the box. I've tried EVERYTHING to make the previous entries show up but it's like it's stuck (I can't even copy the entries to the bottom of the document and get it to work). Any suggestions?? |

I don't know why you're having that problem -- maybe your document has developed some corruption (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm). However, you can side-step the whole issue by converting your current document to a mail merge source document (http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm) and then merging any one or more selected addresses to labels (http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
