Address labels - Creating new recipients in a merged document
achyam 11/28/2008 3:08:00 AM
1. I wish to expand my recipients list in address labels merged document?
I do not want to retype the whole thing again - just add the new ones.

2. I need to have the same individual recipients printed in groups of 10.
I could not find procedure? Please advise.

Where is the data source for your existing labels?

Either via the Mail Merge Wizard, the Mail Merge Toolbar or the original
Mail Merge Helper, you can edit the data source by adding new records to it.

See the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
website at

And if your only source of data is the already merged label document -

Thank you Doug and Graham,
I used "Convert Labels into Mail Merge Data Filed" from Gramham's site.

I guess I can copy the first recipient to the next 9 address blocks then I
will have my first group of 10. Then do this again for the second recipient
and so-on.
This will allow printing of labels in the groups. Ref part 2. of my original
question.
Thanks again.

If your label sheet has 10 labels on it, simply remove the <<Next Record>>
fields from the mail merge main document (it will appear in cells 2 through
10). If the sheet has 20 labels. leave the <<Next Record>> field in the
11th label and if it has 30 labels, also leave it in the 21st label.
