Merging to labels
Probably because you are using the Addressblock which causes more problems
than it solves. Just insert the individual mergefields that you want to appear on the labels in the configuration that you want. Also, see the article "Mail Merge to Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm -- Hope this helps.

Merging to labels
Tried inserting the mergefields I needed, still missing data when perform the
merge. Did the match field thing and that is correct. It is sporatic on the data it is not merging. Using Word 2002 - is this the problem?

As a possible workaround, try checking Word Tools|Options|General|"Confirm
conversion at open", go through the process of connecting to the Excel sheet again, select the DDE option when it is offered, and see if that makes a difference.

Merging to labels
Just tried doing that, still missing data. Would the number of labels I need
to merge be a factor?

Merging to labels
It's always possible. Are there a lot?
Something you can try for now: a. select your two columns in Excel b. Edit|Copy c. create a new document in Word d. Edit|Paste, creating a two-column table in Word e. use the Word document as the data source for your merge Peter Jamieson "Elise J" wrote in message ... Just tried doing that, still missing data.

Still missing info. I will presume the version I am using cannot handle a
large quantity of data for a label merge and do this the long way. "Peter Jamieson" wrote: It's always possible. Are there a lot? Something you can try for now: a. select your two columns in Excel b.
