Hey all.
I use ms word 2000's mail merge to print address labels for a newsletter.
But for the past couple of months the "mail merge" option has disappeared
from the "tools" menu. A couple of times I was able to get it back by doing a
"system restore", but this time it's not working; maybe because I can't
remember the date when I printed the labels last month.
When I do a "customize" under "tools", I can see "mail merge" in the
categories, but it's only the "commands" that I can drag to the "tools" menu.
The suggestions I've received, and tried, and haven't worked a check the
"tool bars" in the "view" menu, but "mail merge" is not there; open a
previously done "mail merge" file and see where that goes (silly me, I never
saved any.); and re-install word.
I hope this post isn't too long, but I wanted to tell all of my experience.
I'm at the point of typing 87 names and address and that doesn't sound
appealing. Ugh!
Thanks. And I'll try any suggestions anyone has. Janice
