How do I set up an excel file to be used in a mail merge?
I entered the data into an excell file for addresses. I started by putting
labels in row one, then I put the addresses in row by row. I did not do anything to the first row besides put in the labels. When I run mail merge in word the program does not see any data or it gives an error that resources are exceeded. Do I need to format the data base in a certain way to allow mail merge to use it? Any step by step advice would be greatly appreciated? |

How do I set up an excel file to be used in a mail merge?
Mr D.
I just created a excel file using the extension (xls.) Did you check in the mail merge porgram selection (xls.) It may be looking in the wrong location and you must tell the mail merge to open the xls. files, then locate your document and import it. The Mail merge will delimite the file for you. Have fun....
