What is the best program to create a list for printing
envelopes and labels? And where can I find directions or
samples?
Thanks from Alaska

Word will merge from a wide variety of data formats. For addresses, the
obvious choice is Outlook, which provides excellent data search and
selection tools.

Hi Ed,

There are lots of options

A table in a Word document with the first row containing the field names
An Excel spreadsheet, also with the first row of the sheet containing the
field names
A table in an Access database
The Contacts list in Outlook (Not Outlook Express)

It's hard to say what is the best program.  It depends to a certain extent
on what other use you may make of the data.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
Hope this helps

Go to:

/Ralph http://www.btinternet.com/~kevin.james1.htm. There
you will find some procedures to download that might help
you make a database for you lists and give you
instructions for using it with either Word or Works to
print labels and envelopes.
