Convert Mailing Labels to Word and Excel
I am attempting to convert a old Word Perfect6 mailing label list into an
Excel or Access 2003 database. After opening my WP file into Word 2003 I am unable to convert this data into Excel or Access. I have attempted to follow Beth Menton and Dave Radio MVP article "How to Convert Address to Mail Merge Data Source" without success. Thank you in advance for any suggestions on converting a Word doc file in mailing list layout into an Excel or Access 2003 database. |

Convert Mailing Labels to Word and Excel
Thank you for the quick reply....YES I have tried Graham Mayor's site, and I
do understand most of the instructions...however one problem that occurs is when I go to click the Text to Table feature the button is not available. My other question..was the entire process seems so fustrating and long and thought maybe there was a simpler method of exporting or merging mailing label formated Word document into Excel or Access 2003 "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Have you tried: "Convert Labels into Mail Merge Data File" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm -- Hope this helps.
