How to use an excel list of names in Word (that does not appear in table)?
I need to be able to convert names listed in an excel file (a few
columns eg. Mr Joe Bloggs)into a Word document. I then want to be able to insert sub headings etc. For example in excel: A1 B1 C1 Mr Joe Bloggs Mrs Mary James Mr John kelly Mr Henry Morris Mr Mike Smith Miss Stacey Timpleton Mr Jimmy Young I want to cut and paste it into Word to look similar but no cells separating each word Then create a list and insert sub headings within it: Sublist A Mr Joe Bloggs Mrs Mary James Mr John kelly Sublist B Mr Henry Morris Mr Mike Smith Sublist C Miss Stacey Timpleton Mr Jimmy Young This list of names will need to be cut and pasted regularly from Excel into Word. Any tips appreciated. Colin |

Use the Excel sheet as a mail merge data source. See

How to use an excel list of names in Word (that does not appear in table)?
Thank you Suzanne. I have tried this but after selecting insert merge
field' in Word only the first name on my database column is moved across. When I insert the same code repeatedly so that the next name the column is inserted below it won't do this. How do I get it to create a list from my column of names? Many thanks Colin Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: Use the Excel sheet as a mail merge data source.

Insert the merge fields once, then press Enter. Make sure that the merge is
set up as a Catalog or Directory merge. After you have created the mail merge main document, you must merge to a new document to get the list. -- Suzanne S.
