Lable Merge won't work for me...
Hi, I'm using Office XP, the database was made using *I think* Filemaker Pro
The database has First Name Last Name Address City State Zip these fields. I have sheets of blank Avery labels on which I want to merge the information from the database. However, when I go through the merge wizard, once I click OK after the I select the data source and names, then click OK, all I get is a sheet full of labels, each label has Next Record in it. Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? Is it possible the datasource is not compatible? -- Joe Fisher Teacher, K-8 Marion, MT |

It sounds as if you have not performed the merge. See "How to use the mail
merge to create mailing labels in Word 2002" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=294684 for complete instructions. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne. I hadn't seen some of the options.
I found the merge wizard easier to use in Office 97.:-) -- Joe Fisher Teacher, K-8 Marion, MT "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... It sounds as if you have not performed the merge.

You can restore the old Mail Merge Helper from Tools | Customize.

Would you suggest that I do that? As I said, I liked the old one better, but
then again, I haven't used the now one hardly at all. Are there advantages to the new layout that I should get used ito? Instead of reverting? -- Joe Fisher Teacher, K-8 Marion, MT "Suzanne S.

As a compromise, see
http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/...MailMerges.htm. This is the approach I like because I know what I'm doing, and I can set up an entire merge (or run an existing one) from the Mail Merge toolbar, without help from either Helper or Wizard. -- Suzanne S.
