Mail Merge using envelopes
The merge wizards for 2003/7 are very similar, but if you avoid the wizards
the dialogs are much different. See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Meebers wrote: Agreed! The cursor automatically going to the return address field is what got me stumped in the first place. Viewing the merged data in the return address location made for a beer drinking moment! One other note, the "wizard" in both the 03 and 07 versions appear to be the same for merging. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Note that the merge process puts a frame on the envelope formatted with the envelope address paragraph style, but the cursor automatically goes to the return address location. You need to ensure that your mergefields go in the frame. http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm (although aimed at Word 2003) should help demonstrate the process. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Meebers wrote: Ahhhh yes! with the Ctrl+Shift+8, it appears (Just like it is supposed to) "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ... Cool! Glad it's working out. As for the pilcrows... Word can display "non-printing formatting characters," such as the pilcrow, which represents a paragraph mark. Little dots for spaces, little arrow for tabs, etc. They are exceedingly handy for figuring out why a document is acting strange, or exactly what's in your document. You can reveal/hide them by pressing Ctrl+Shift+8, or by clicking the Show/Hide tool in the Paragraph section of the Home tab. What might look like white space might actually contain a number of non-printing formatting marks. And, while they don't print, they can sure get in the way at times. So, most of us long-time Word users rely on them to know where the ghosts & skeletons are hidden.
