Thanks! That sure is easier than that wizard in the tools menu. I was

able
to get it close to what I want and I am sure I can probably play around to
get it perfect. I may be back in a few days.

I suggest that from the View menu, you select Toolbars and then check the
Mail Merge item to display the Mail Merge toolbar. That toolbar contains
buttons that will allow you to select the main document type, attach the
data source and insert the merge fields in the configuration that you

want
and then to execute the merge to the required destination (new document,
printer, email).

Hi Everyone,

Using Office 2003 which is new to me. I have an excel sheet with Name,
Number 1, Number 2, Faciliy as column headers. I would like to insert
these fields on word documents. I have 300 records and will have 300
word documents with these fields on them. All fields will go on one
document which is set up as a table with the same field names.

I have tried to play around using mail merge but it's not working out
very well. I think I did something similar using mail merge a few

years
ago but I was using Office 2000 and the mail merge seems to have

changed
a bit.

Thanks,
Linda
