address book from excel?
I have an Excel spreadsheet with names, addresses, etc. and wish to use
MailMerge (or something) to put them in a two column format so I can print it as needed. So far I have gotten to a template set up as I wish, but when I tell it to do a merge I get one full page of the first entry, one full page of the second entry, and so on, ad infinitum. What step have I missed? Chuck |

Use a catalog, or in Word XP and later it is called a directory, type
mailmerge main document in which you have only a one row table, in the cells of which you insert the merge fields. When you execute such a merge to a new document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each record in the datasource. If you mean that you want the data arranged in two columns, format the main document to have two columns and setup the table in the first column. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
