how do I do a label merge using a directory?
What format is your data stored in? (A Word document? Excel file? Or what?
And how is it organised (e.g. do you have one column for street name, one for city, one for postal code, or what? Peter Jamieson "Lfelixthekat" wrote in message ...

how do I do a label merge using a directory?
well in the old word I had it done in a word doc. and then just do a merge
when I need to do labels... this was the data base that was very easy to keep updated and then when I need to do label just do it.. Now I cant seem to figure it out to do the label part. Today I figured out how to do mail merge with the excel files. We just got upgraded at work and now things are all different.. I have a number of excel files as my data base and then do a mail merge. and they are organized by name, title, company, address 1, address 2, city, state, zip and other info. Is it a lost cause that I should just do a excel file and merge. I dont know access "Peter Jamieson" wrote: What format is your data stored in? (A Word document? Excel file? Or what?

No, but I think you should go and look at Graham Mayor's pages http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm and see how far they get you.
