No macros necessary. Use Excel to store the data: Row 1 is column headings,
row 2 your first record (address), row 3 your second record, etc. Save it,
close it.
Open Word, do a mail merge.

I am trying to set up a data base of names for a mailing list, and then
make
it retrievable into a letter format or just envelope addressing. Anyone
with information on how to help me would be greatly appreciated. It has
been
years since my college days and learning macros and such.
