Mail Merge question
Hello,
We sell books and I need to create a document that has a title with a variable name that includes book name and date published along with a listing of folks address in label format. I have an Excel db document that lists names and addresses (& book name, phone numbers, email, fax, etc). When I create a label mail merge it doesn't let me add the title information. If I create a letter type merge document I can't add the label format. A layout of the document I am looking for is: Steve's Book Date Published: 1/21/07 Name1 Name2 Name3 Address1 Adress2 Address3 Job1 Job2 Job3 How do I accomplish this? Thanks, gabo |

Thanks, gabo- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks for your response. I have been reading on mail merge and I am requesting a little more help. What I have done is select the "letter" option for mail merge. I can get the header information fine, it is the label-type information that I am having difficulty with. I can't keep the record information together or I can't make the records change names. Here is one example I have is where the address information is, it dups the same record (same name, job title, etc for both) - «First_Name» «Last_Name» «First_Name» «Last_Name» «Job_Title» «Job_Title» «County» «County» «Company_Name» «Company_Name» «Job_Title» «Job_Title» «Next Record» «Next Record» any additional help would be greatly appreciated. |
