I have an address list in excel that I want to use to write envelopes in
Word. The "mail merge helper" hangs up after I open the address file in excel.

Excel data)
You can download an envelope template for merge from my web site.

Thank you so much!!! I haven't tried the several suggestions I found in the
community chat room but they are all downloaded and waiting to be
implemented. I very much appreciate your intelligent and articulate response.
