Is there anyway to search for mail merge recipeints & add them "1" at a time
to a new set of labels witout opening a new instance of Word and cutting & pasting? The document is using an Microsoft Acceess query as a data source. Thanks, Paul |

What are you trying to achieve? If you want to merge only part of the data,
then select the records you wish to print - click the mail merge recipients on the merge toolbar and check off the ones you want to merge. http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm You might find it easier to create the labels using Access alone. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul wrote: Is there anyway to search for mail merge recipeints & add them "1" at a time to a new set of labels witout opening a new instance of Word and cutting & pasting?

Graham,
The merge needs to include all of the records from our customer database. It is the end users who will be searching for specific customers by account number, as needed to produce a label for a delivery ticket. Access will not work in our case as we do not have enough licenses for all the users who may be assigned to perform this job. Paul "Graham Mayor" wrote: What are you trying to achieve?

The mail merge recipients tool from the merge toolbar has a search function.
You can search the attached merge data file by account number and uncheck all the records but the one(s) you wish to produce a label for. Thereafter it's a straightforward label merge as demonstrated in the link I posted. Another ruse would be to import your customer data into a shared Outlook contacts list (assuming the users have Outlook). Outlook has even more sophisticated search and merge options - http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm It would of course require both data files to be maintained in synch. I suspect that all users would have to have Access installed (to provide access to the Access reference libraries in vba) if you wanted anything more sophisticated. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul wrote: Graham, The merge needs to include all of the records from our customer database.
