How can I use same address list for mail merge and label printing
I can use Word 'mail merge' to print all addresses in my Word address table.
It appears that I have to use 'Tools', 'Envelopes & Labels' and Contacts (from 'Outlook') to print single addresses on a particular label (in a part used sheet). I have tried to import the Word merge address table into Outlook - Contacts, but Contact records these as single lines only. I tried to convert the Word, Merge address list into Excel, but again ended up with single cells instead of complete addresses in rows. It would be helpful if I could select the Word merge address list as the source for 'Envelopes and labels' contact list, but can't find a way of adding this into the current source options. I don't mind having 2 separate address lists, but would prefer to have only one, used for both methods. Can anyone help, please? |

Instead of using Tools, Envelopes & Lables. use Mail Merge and then choose
Labels, this lets you specify the data source. HTH Sheila "Wuzzy10" wrote: I can use Word 'mail merge' to print all addresses in my Word address table.

How can I use same address list for mail merge and label print
Thank you for that, Sheila. Not sure which version of Word you have. When I
select Mail Merge, The 'Mail Merge Helper' appears, there is no option to choose 'Labels', except to 'create' again. This method doesn't seem to allow individual labels to be printed in a particular place (part used sheet etc) either. Can you help any further?

In all versions of Word when you start to use Mail Merge you are asked what
type of document you want to create, if you're getting the Mail Merg helper I'm guessing it's 2000 or less so just click on the drop down in Step 1 and choose lables instead of letter.
