Can I set up a merge to go from Excel (list of names, addresses and an ID
number) into a Word Table? If yes, please either list the steps or point me
to a document that will describe what I need to do. Have been researching the
various help sites, but haven't found anything that works so far.

Thx
Pat

Yes you can - although the amount of rows is not dynamic - e.g. you have to
create as many (few more) than you need

Easiest method is just create one row/record with as many fields/columns as
you need
Insert the correct field into the correct column
In the last column you need to Insert a <Next> field (increment to next
record)

Run it to make sure you're happy with the result

Copy/Paste as many (few more) rows than you need

The problem I am having is that the mail merge tools are all greyed out and I
can't figure out what to do to activate them ...
