In Word My merged list does not display on the document
I've been trying to make a mail list in Word 2002 using the mailing label
wizard. I go through the steps and have tried Outlook contacts and created a new list in Word and the addresses will not display on the document. I receive no error messages, in fact it acts as if everything is fine. Even the preview in the task pane shows the correct number of recpients but they do not display on the document or print preview. |

In Word My merged list does not display on the document
Hi ?B?Smlt?=,
I've been trying to make a mail list in Word 2002 using the mailing label wizard. I go through the steps and have tried Outlook contacts and created a new list in Word and the addresses will not display on the document. I receive no error messages, in fact it acts as if everything is fine. Even the preview in the task pane shows the correct number of recpients but they do not display on the document or print preview. Forgive me if this is a silly question, but... Have you actually inserted any mergefields into the first label on the label sheet? After you do that, you need to "propagate" the labels (copy the first label to the other ones).

What I'm doing is following the prompts in the Mail Merge task pane. I am not
familiar with what you mentioned. I have contacts lists that I want to print labels for. I select the list in the task pane on the right side of the screen and it does not display the contacts in the document.

But, you did not answer Cindy's question. Did you insert any merge fields
into the label? See the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm and "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm -- Hope this helps.

Sorry, I thought "I am not familiar with what you mentioned" answered her
question. All I'm doing is following the prompts in the taskpane. I don't know how to insert merge fields. I'll check out the link.

Cindy and Doug,
You were RIGHT! Thanks so much. The arrange your labels taskpane is not specific about the process so I wasn't inserting the fields. I guess I was giving the software too much credit by assuming it would know what info went on an address label. My fault since they can be used for different tasks. The article was awesome.

attempt to merge data from Word doc
"I am attempting to merge my data from a Word doc and get as far as the envelope displays one address, the first from my data list, but no others are diplayed or printed. Help!" |

attempt to merge data from Word doc
It sounds like you have not executed the merge.
It may be less confusing if you activate the Mail Merge toolbar by selecting Toolbars from the View menu and the checking the Mail Merge item. On the toolbar that will then appear, there are buttons at the right hand end to execute the merge either to a new document or directly to the printer. I would recommend the former so that you can check that all of the envelopes are OK. -- Hope this helps.
