Once I selected the table--clicked ok- instead of see name and address on

Hi ?B?RGF3biBG?=,

Once I selected the table--clicked ok- instead of see name and address on
labels - seeing next document. What am I doing incorrect?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question/problem. You have Word
2002 or 2003? And you're creating labels? You select the data source (Open
Data Source) and then...

You're expecting to see the data in the labels, immediately, and you're not?

That's not how Word's mail merge works. You have to actively insert the
address information, in the form you'd like to have it, in the first label on
the label sheet.

Go to Step 4 "Arrange your labels" in the Wizard (this is why the steps are
numbered 1 of 6, 2 of 6, etc - so that you realize you have to work through
ALL the steps!). You can try the Address Block. If that doesn't give you the
address format you need, use "More Items", instead, to insert each item of
the address in the order and layout you require. When the first label looks
the way you want to have it, click the "update labels" button to copy this to
all the labels on the sheet.

Note that the data preview (Step 5) only shows you one sheet. You must
actually execute the merge to the printer or a new document in order to see
ALL the addresses in your data.
