Problem with mail merge Data
I use Office 2002XP
When merging a document from Excel into Word for a Label mail merge the first row of data becomes the header. There is a header and the box that asks that is checked. Tried deleting the header, unmarking the box, moving the first row of data. Nothing seems to work. |

Hi ?B?U3RlcGhhbmllIEtlbGx5?=,
I'm not sure I understand. Header, as in View/Header and Footer? Or header as in repeat the first table row on each new page? To which box that is checked are you referring (menu command to get there)? I use Office 2002XP When merging a document from Excel into Word for a Label mail merge the first row of data becomes the header. There is a header and the box that asks that is checked. Tried deleting the header, unmarking the box, moving the first row of data.

In Mail Merge wizard after you select the file (the data source) then you go
into the file to select the records to merge (you can sort the data etc in this step). This box is taking the first row of data and using it as a header row. So instead of "First Name" being the first column it is "Daniel". When selecting the data source file there is a box that asks if the file has a header row, this is checked. Also tried to unselect the box. Also tried to remove the header row in the data source. The only way I got around it was to select the whole excel spreadsheet and paste it into a new book. I assumed the file was corrupt in some way. This seemed to work for me, but if there is an easier answer I would love to hear what you have to say. Thank you.
