Problem with Office 2003 envelope address block
I cannot get mail merge to print anything in the address block except for
"Street Address" over and over. I've studied the tutorial; I believe I am doing everything correctly, but the program will not put in the information from my Excel database. Please help. Thnk you. -- Jenny |

Problem with Office 2003 envelope address block
if you're having trouble with "ADDRESSBLOCK" fields you should probably try
using individual fields instead, cf. Graham Mayor's page at http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm I'd try to describe addressblock fields, but since you've already fought with the tutorial (which one??) it's probably not worth it...

And if the data is from Outlook - you may be interested in the
pre-configured envelope templates available for download from my web site. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Peter Jamieson wrote: if you're having trouble with "ADDRESSBLOCK" fields you should probably try using individual fields instead, cf.

Problem with Office 2003 envelope address block
Thank you, Graham. I just want my stupid program to work. Why won't it do
what it's supposed to do? -- Jenny "Graham Mayor" wrote: And if the data is from Outlook - you may be interested in the pre-configured envelope templates available for download from my web site. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Peter Jamieson wrote: if you're having trouble with "ADDRESSBLOCK" fields you should probably try using individual fields instead, cf.

Problem with Office 2003 envelope address block
Peter, Thank you very much for your reply. I took a quick look at your
website. I'm sure it's very helpful, but, darn it, I just want my stupid program to work the way it's supposed to. I paid for it and, now, it seems I have to do a bunch of reading to figure out a way to make the thing do what it's supposed to do already. It's a pain! -- Jenny "Peter Jamieson" wrote: if you're having trouble with "ADDRESSBLOCK" fields you should probably try using individual fields instead, cf.

Problem with Office 2003 envelope address block
Like everything else in life, some things work better than others. If you
are American and have standard format American addresses, then AddressBlock probably works OK. For the rest of the world (and probably for Americans too) you can merge individual address fields in any layout you want just as you have been able to do since the earliest versions of Word. As with any other complex piece of software, you have to be prepared to learn how to use it to do what you wish to achieve - or pay someone to do it for you. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jenny wrote: Peter, Thank you very much for your reply.

Problem with Office 2003 envelope address block
A bit patronizing, Graham. I have used Mail Merge before - many times. It
worked just fine. It doesn't work with this particular version of Office Works on my PC. I don't know why and apparently no one else does, either. I have new software which will probably free me from the tentacles of this horrid program and then I can be happy again. -- Jenny "Graham Mayor" wrote: Like everything else in life, some things work better than others.

Problem with Office 2003 envelope address block
What field names are you using in Excel? Are they the same ones as you have
used before? Are you explicitly mapping them? If not, it's possible that Word is not recognising the names of the fields, not mapping them at all, and that that is why they are not appearing in your output.
