It still didn’t work. I converted the document so I now have a table with one
column and many rows. There are 3 rows for each address (name, street, city)
and a blank row between the each address. Here’s what happens when I  open a
blank document and run the mailmerge wizard:

Step 1: I bullet envelopes

Step 2: I OK size 10 envelope with return address in the upper     left hand
corner and move the cursor to where I want the addresses (I previously set up
the return address)

Step 3: I select the file with the table which now brings up a     “Mailmerge
Recipients” window with a table similar to the one I created (one column, 3
rows for each address and a blank row between addresses) with a check mark to
the left of each row including the blank ones.

Step 4: I choose “Address Block” which brings up an “Insert     Address Block”
window. I click OK and <<AddressBlock>> now pops up where I left the cursor
for the addresses.

Step 5: Nothing now appears on the envelope except for the return address.
The  <<AddressBlock>> code is now gone. As I click to preview each next
address, they are all blank as well (except for the return address).

Step 6: No change.

I apologize for being so green but the instructions in Word aren’t much help
and the link regarding labels just confused me more.  Thanks so much for your
time.

P.S. The reason my first message was posted 3 times was the first two times
I got an error message and assumed the post did not go through.  I am,
however, impatient. Thanks again.
