I have been trying to help a friend using Office 98 on a
IMac to set up labels from a Xcell work sheet. On my own
machine which is PC based I have done it many times by
going to Word On the tools menu and pressing Mail Merge
set up master document ,Get dats by pointing to Xcell
document choosing the label and then settig up the
label ,and merging. When I read the help instructions on
her machine They read just as I have just described, but
when you go to her Tools menu, there is no Mail Merge
command , Only Merging Documents Or envelopes and Labels.
I have tried folling thru using each of those and only
get error messages. Hoe can the help menu describe one
procedure and not have the commands as described. Help

You need to ask this in a MAC group. If this were a Windows
machine, I'd say Word has probably been installed as part of
the Works Suite, and the addin in had been removed. But
that's almost certainly not the case, here...

The only other suggestion I can make would be to see if you
can find the MailMergeHelper in Tools/Customize/Commands,
AllCommands. But I don't even know if that's available on a
Mac.
