prior to the xp version, i did not have any problems doing a mail merge. i
do not understand what these formulas are for.

Which formulas? Which particular problems are you seeing (Things have
definitely changed - the question is, which changes are you seeing?)

Peter, I think you can help me I have a similar problem. I posted a question
today (1/26). I'm using XP with Office 2003 including Word 2003 and Excel
2003. I'm trying to print address labels in Word 2003 using Excel 2003 data.
I followed the directions and when I try to display the file I get blank
labels on the screen.

Thanks,
Michael

It may be that you expect Word to grab the address data from Excel
automatically, but it doesn't - you have to tell it which fields to use -
try using the More Items option in Step 4 in the Mailmerge Wizard pane,
then Update all labels, then go through the remaining steps. If you already
did that, let us know.
