I have an excel spreadsheet with several columns of info. Name (Current
Resident), Address1 (Street #), Address 2 (Condo #), Address 3 (Street Name),
City, State, Zip are the column headings. The parenthesis are what the info
is and not included in the column heading.

I need to do a mail merge. Although I have used excel and word for years, I
am a mail merge newbie, so need help in figuring out how to do this. I have
tried, and can't get past arranging the labels and creating the address block
using the fields that are provided. Any help you can give would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks so much

Don't use the Address Block. Just insert the merge fields that you want to
use in the configuration that you want them.
