Creating mailing labels with the Mail Merge Helper
I am running Word that came with the Works 2003 suite. I installed the Mail Merge Helper via View - Toolbars - Customize - Commands - All Commands, and went about trying to create sheets of mailing labels choosing Mailing labels as the type of main document I wanted. The data source is Works database (but I have also exported the data to a comma separated file and used that as the data source). The database contains 18 records (the first person being Adair, the 13th Burridge). When I click on the Merge button, all I end up with is a document in two sections (and as it happens two pages). The first label (cell) on the first page has the label for Adair and the rest of the 11 labels (cells) on the page are blank. The first label in the second section has the label for Burridge and all the remaining 5 labels/cells in the section are blank. When I create a Form letter, using the same database, and do the merge it runs through perfectly producing 18 Form letters as required. Can someone advise me what I need to do to get the Mailing labels merge working properly? -- Stephen White ) |
