Can I create a database from labels that are already created?
Labels were typed up by a previous empolyee who did not use mail merge. I
would like to use that information to create a mail merge capability. However, when I try to set up a database with the existing labels, the format is off becuase it does not go in the correct order-- eg. first name, last name, street. It takes the subsequent names and fills them in the address info. There are hundreds of names on the list, so re-typing all the info would be cumbersome. Thanks you all for any suggestions. |

Doug,
I have Word 2003. So when I went to the replace section, and put in ^13(2), it did no find anything. Does Word 2003 have a differenct code ofr the paragraph marks. The double paragraph marks did show up when I converted the table to text, but I got stuck at the "replace" step. pb "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: See "Convert Labels into Mail Merge Data File" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm -- Hope this helps.

It should be ^13{2} not ^13(2) - That is "curly brackets", not parentheses
