Mail Merge & Excel TX Jo 12/23/2008 1:51:00 AM I have an excel spreadsheet with several columns of info. Name (Current Resident), Address1 (Street #), Address 2 (Condo #), Address 3 (Street Name), City, State, Zip are the column headings. The parenthesis are what the info is and not included in the column heading. I need to do a mail merge. Although I have used excel and word for years, I am a mail merge newbie, so need help in figuring out how to do this. I have tried, and can't get past arranging the labels and creating the address block using the fields that are provided. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much -- TX Jo

Re: Mail Merge & Excel "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 12/23/2008 4:16:46 AM Don't use the Address Block. Just insert the merge fields that you want to use in the configuration that you want them.
