Default Mail merge list not recognized

Document type-Evelope

On the select receiptients tab, using an existing list from an Excel
spreedsheet, prompts to select a table. I pick the set print area table from
the excel spread sheet. Next appears the mail receipients list with the info
from the spreadsheet. I press ok.

Next step to preview envelope-Nothing appears on envelopes besides return
address. The correct number of envelopes are paged but no receipients on any
of the envelopes.

Please help.

Did you insert any mergefields into the Address area of the envelope?

State Zip. I have three column on the spreadsheet(1) Company

The problem isn't what is in your spreadsheet, unless you tried to insert an
ADDRESSBLOCK field in the envelope. The problem is that you need to insert
Merge fields into the address area of the envelope. It may be easier to
enable the MailMerge Toolbar (try Tools|Customize, then use the 6th button
from the left ("Insert Merge Fields") to insert the merge fields
corresponding to Company Name, Address, City/State/Zip
