Forget the addressblock field and start the merge from Outlook -

Insert the individual fields you require.

Graham, thanks for setting up such a great web site to help us through the
challenges of Mail Merge. After following your instructions for creating
mailing labels, I end up with a blank label document. Why are the selected
addresses not appearing?

Many thanks.

At what point is the label document blank?
If at the start - table > show gridlines will help
Or is this after you have added your fields and propagated the labels?
Or later having merged to a new document?
Follow the instructions and let me know where it goes wrong.

Ah... the end of the process wasn't apparent. It now works. Thank you very,
very much!
