OK. Got it. What I did not do was when selecting the type of merge
(where it gave you, letter, fax, labels, etc.) I simply clicked
CANCEL.

But when I selected labels and then got to choose a type, I then
clicked CANCEL and I could finally see the propagate button !

Thanks!

As far as Word is concerned the Avery document is a table. You have
to tell the merge routine that it is a label document and you do
that from the merge toolbar (extreme left button). This will pop up
the label selector. Just cancel that and your current document will
be treated as mailing labels and the propagate button will be
available.

It is only simple when you know how.

Thanks Graham but I am still unable to make my labels work! It's so
frustrating... I went on Avery's website, found and downloaded the
template (11447) but when I open it, Word does not think that this
document are labels. I even placed this template in the Avery
subfolder of the template directory. Why is something that should
be so simple turn into a real headache.

Could I send you the template from Avery?

Thanks,

Either check with the label packaging for the part number or the
Avery web site.
You can only propagate a label document that is identified as a
label merge document - see

Hi,

Windows XP - Word 2003
Last week, I read the mail merge, propagate website of Suzanne
Barnhill and was able to merge my Excel doc with Word but now....
I repeated the steps but am unable to find the Avery template in
Word. It's a 8.5X11 sheet that you can separate in half sheets
that contain 8 labels across and 5 rows. I saved an empty
document with empty labels and cannot for the life of me, make
the "next record" propagate...

Please help me!!
Thanks,

Luke
