Merge address blocks from my letters to labels.
I can't merge the name and addresses from letters in a mass mailing into
labels. The data base came from a different program so I can't use that. Is there not a way to merge from the letters which are already created? Thanks, Pam |

Merge address blocks from my letters to labels.
The usual way is to use the same datasource for a separate Envelope type
mailmerge.. Can you add an envelope to the main document and insert the merge fields into the envelope as well as into the letter part of the document and then execute the merge? It is not really possible to use the merged letters themselves as a datasource. It is probably possible however to write a macro to extract the addresses into a separate document that could be used as a datasource. -- Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help. I tried to create a macro and use that for a mail
merge, but either it won't work or I am not doing it right. I printed and followed the instructions, but I haven't done a macro before, so maybe I'm missing something.
