Mail Merge - Blank Labels

[Guest Andy Chivers]

It's that time of year when I look to do all my Christmas card addresses on

labels. The last few years it has worked very well. Since then I've obviously

downloaded an upgrade - which doesn't seem to work as well.

 

I follow the instructions to the letter. Having selected my addresses,

sortted the layout and then clicked on merge, just one address appears on one

label - nothing anywhere else. The selected data is there somewhere - if I

click the arrow on the merge toolbar, a different contact appears. I just

can't get all of the addresses to appear at the same time on the template.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks

What application are you using to create the labels. ? You do realize that

you have posted to a WinME group, is that the operating system you are using

?

Sorry I can't help further and as you're using the horrible web interface I

don't know if this will work.

Try looking for microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields and see if that can

give you any help.
