Default Mail Merge working with Excel

Hello,

I do a lot of mail merges and I want a copy of my info. from my data
files to transfer into an Excel document without having to re-type all of the
info into Excel. Is that possible? If so, how?

A bit hard to answer without knowing what your data files are like. If
you're talking about Word tables, copy and paste works well; if they text
files formatted so that they work as Word mailmerge sources, Excel can open
them also -- just try opening them and see what happens.

Lisa
The files or Address files are kept in Access files in My Data Sources
Click on the correct Address book, then right on Send To and Excel and it
will create the excel spred sheet with headers and a completed list

How do you conclude that Access is the data source? It could be from any
number of other files, including the Office Address Book or even a Word doc.
The OP really doesn't provide enough info for a specific solution to be
offered.

Hopefully Lisa will post back with more detail, as there could be a number
of options to pursue. In the meantime she can pick & choose from the
alternatives in Jezebel's reply as well.
