Hey guys, this is my first post but I have been studying the boards for a while. I recently had my list provider send me all of my lists via Excel so I could print my own labels. I have been trying to do a mail merge function in Word, and I can’t figure out where I am going wrong. I follow the mail merge function, and nothing seems to happen. I am thinking there must be something I need to do in Excel prior to trying to merge. If anyone has any suggestions, please…please share them. My wife and I are going nuts trying to figure this out!
Basic steps, as Different versions of office differ in exact steps.
- Open Word
- Tools/mail Merge/lables
- Select fields (excel columns) and arrange lable. This is where you are probably going wrong, you must select what fields and where they go on the lable before you can merge them.
- Complete Merge.
