mail merge with Excel not work
With W XP/office 2002 0r 03/
I follow the instructions of the Mail merge wizard, follow all the steps, retrieve file from DOCs, select columns etc and when I get to preview the labels they are all blank. Actually I'm not doing a mailing list. I'm using the labels to attach on books in a volunteer library. I use three columns from the Excel to transfer and be printed in two lines, the title, price and number of copies . I read many of the questions and answers on this newsgroup but none seemed to apply also I read the http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm seems very detailed and I'm lost. Many thanks moushia moushia |

mail merge with Excel not work
How far did you get before you got lost. I suggest that instead of using
the Wizard, you activate the Mail Merge toolbar by selecting Toolbars from the View menu and then checking the Mail Merge item. That toolbar contains buttons for all of the steps required to setup and perform a mailmerge. Make sure that you do not miss the one that propogates the arrangement of the mergefields that you insert in the first label on the sheet to the other labels in the mailmerge main document. Graham's instructions however are quite clear, so if you follow them, you should be able to do it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "moushia" wrote in message ...

mail merge with Excel not work
Thanks Doug. After I posted my question I went back to Graham's instructions
and tried some more. My problem was the conversion to transfer the excel file. Finally I managed that, and everything else was ok using the tool bar and not the wizard.
