MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004mailmerge and envelopes?
Hi, Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible to use mail merge with printing envelopes? Wilson Hi Wilson, It certainly is. While you can do it in all versions of Word, the mailmerge interface changed in Word XP, so knowing what version of Word you are using makes it easier to give specific instructions. However, I would suggest that from the View menu, you select Toolbars and then check the Mailmerge item so that the mailmerge toolbar is visible. One of the options under the Main document setup button on that toolbar is envelopes.

I have managed to hack my way through Word with VFP and the documents. The last hurdle is the label code and mail merge. Individual etters went ok. I am trying to figure out out how to automate the labels and letters with mail merge.

If that's the case, you might be better of asking in microsoft.public.fox.programmer.exchange. For information on the Word end of it, type mailmerge into the visual basic editor and press F1 SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Note that just setting your merge type to "Label" does NOT give you a label sheet. You first need to create this, then start with the merge type, etc. > I am finishing an app and the last stages are to add some documents with > mail merge thru [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > ok.
