How do I make labels from contents in a table i.e table of content
Hi, I am using Word 2003 and I am trying to figure out how I can put
information from a table (looks like a table of contents) into a label. An example would be: 1310 MANAGEMENT ANALYSES, SURVEYS, AND EVALUATIONS 1310-1 Worldwide Dashboard Report 1310-2 Local Dashboard Report 1310-3 Customer Feedback 200 Branch 1320 Trend Analyses 1320-1 Worldwide Analyses 1320-2 Regional Analyses 1320-3 Local Analyses I have over 200 different lines like these in a table. Can I make labels for each line in a few steps rather than copying and pasting into each label at a time? |

Use that document as the data source for a label type mail merge.
To do that, insert a new paragraph at the top of the list and in that paragraph type a word such as LabelName to be used as the name for the Mergefield If there are two paragraph marks creating the spaces 1310 MANAGEMENT ANALYSES, SURVEYS, AND EVALUATIONS¶ ¶ 1310-1 Worldwide Dashboard Report¶ 1310-2 Local Dashboard Report¶ 1310-3 Customer Feedback 200 Branch¶ ¶ 1320 Trend Analyses¶ ¶ 1320-1 Worldwide Analyses¶ you will need to use Find and Replace to replace ^p^p with ^p then, use Ctrl+A to select everything in the document and from the Tables menu, select Convert text to table and you should then get a one column table with each entry in a separate row. Save this document and use it as the data source for a label type mail merge to create your labels.

Genius! Thanks Doug! That worked! I'll post the procedures here so it'll
help someone in the community if they ever need it! Procedures: Running a macro containing the following code will convert your document tothe format attached. If you then delete the empty row at the top of thetable, you can use it as the data source for a mail merge operation Sub Macro1() ' Macro1 Macro' Selection.Rows.ConvertToText Separator:=wdSeparateByTabs, NestedTables:= _ True Selection.Rows.ConvertToText Separator:=wdSeparateByParagraphs, _NestedTables:=True Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormattingWith Selection.Find ..Text = "^p^p" ..Replacement.Text = "^p" ..Forward = True ..Wrap = wdFindAsk ..Format = False ..MatchCase = False ..MatchWholeWord = False ..MatchWildcards = False ..MatchSoundsLike = False ..MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Selection.WholeStory WordBasic.TextToTable ConvertFrom:=0, NumColumns:=1, NumRows:=36, _InitialColWidth:=wdAutoPosition, Format:=0, Apply:=1184, AutoFit:=0, _ SetDefault:=0, Word8:=0, Style:="Table Grid" End Sub "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: It is still not clear to me how your data is arranged.
