Do the following field names correspond exactly to the fields in your
datasource? _FIRST0__LAST0_ _SUFFIX0_ _STREET1_ _STREET2_ _CUTY_,_STATE__POSTAL_ I would suggest that instead of using the AddressBlock, you insert the actual mergefields that you want to use in the configuration that you want them. -- Hope this helps.

It's extemely unlikely that it is a problem with the software. Almost
certainly it's a problem with the datasource or the main document. Have you tried inserting the merge fields directly rather that using the address block? -- Hope this helps.

If you are still using the AddressBlock, do not use it. Just insert those
field names in the configuration that you desire them to appear: first last street1 city state zip If there is a space between street and 1 in your Excel spreadsheet (as it appears that there maybe because the email program has inserted a linebreak between the two, that is why Street is not appearing. You cannot have a space in a field name. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thank you so much!!!! it is finally working. I guess I was just a mail merge
idiot!! Thank you for your time it was VERY helpful. Sarah "Doug Robbins" wrote: If you are still using the AddressBlock, do not use it. Just insert those field names in the configuration that you desire them to appear: first last street1 city state zip If there is a space between street and 1 in your Excel spreadsheet (as it appears that there maybe because the email program has inserted a linebreak between the two, that is why Street is not appearing. You cannot have a space in a field name. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Shadow" wrote in message ... Well I finalyy got that to work but now it is only putting the name, city, state & zip, no street address.

I just tried to get do labels from my address book instead of from myExcel file and it worked fine. Is it the Excel file? I am taking a file from a zip program and downloanding it to Excel and saving it as an Excel file then trying to do the mail merge.

Someone has offered me the 2003 verison of Word and Excel. Should I just ry losding that? Could it be my program? "Doug Robbins" wrote: Do the following field names correspond exactly to the fields in your datasource? _FIRST0__LAST0_ _SUFFIX0_ _STREET1_ _STREET2_ _CUTY_,_STATE__POSTAL_ I would suggest that instead of using the AddressBlock, you insert the actual mergefields that you want to use in the configuration that you want them. -- Hope this helps.
