Mial merge Office 2007/Outlook
I am trying to mail merge from Outlook 2007Word 2007. I would really like to
use categories,m but it doesn't seem to do that. I have to take all contacts then keep Outlook open to see the sorted list then manually select those I want. But the bigger problem is that I can select the contacts I want, but it doesn't pull any actual data. When I try to update labels all I get is a full page of next record If I select Create labels from the tool bar all I get is a blank dialog, there is no data for me to select to format or print. If I go back to Edit recipient list all the contacts I selected are still there. What am I doing wrong? |

Thanks for that reply. I'm sure it will work.
I can't fathom how you have to do all that just to print a stinking label from Outlook though? If I want to print maybe 5 labels it would take me much longer than just writing them out by hand. Why not just have a way to print a label form Outlook? Sorry to rant, thanks for your help Graham.

The explanation is much longer than the action - which is why I posted the
links rather than explain it all over again  Whether it is possible to create a label form in Outlook, I don't know. It would seem to be a sensible idea - but this forum is about mail merge in Word.

I did post it there.
I 'could' mail merge, and from the other forum they suggested that was the only option. That's why I tried to do it using Word. I just posted a suggestion over there for this feature. Usually I only need to print a few labels and to go through all the steps to do a merge would take longer than to just use a typewriter to do them by hand.

If you only have a few labels - less than a sheet - use the Envelope/Label
tool to create a new document and enter the content in the table cells. Merging from Outlook is still quicker (especially if you use the same pre-configured label document to merge.). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mark wrote: I did post it there.
