I'm trying to merge envelopes from an address I've created in Word. I've
tried about everything the wizard says to do and nothing seems to work.
Since I have entered all the names I want to use them. These are to be used
separately from a letter, rather from another document that is already
prepared. I also have a Que manual for Office XP and I cannot
get it to work. It seems more trouble than doing them each one at a time,
Why is that happening? Can someone walk me through it?

Hi Sharon,

"separately from a letter rather than from a document that is already
prepared" means?

that you have the addresses in a separate document that just holds
addresses?

that you have the addresses in a letter and want to make envelopes?

You would not use mailmerge in the second situation, at least not directly.
In the first situtation, you would use mailmerge and would want the
addresses formatted in either a table or tab-delimited file. I take it you
are using Office XP?

If it is the second situation, I would select the addresses one at a time
and prepare envelopes for 1-10 addresses. For more than that, I would put
the addresses into a table and do a mailmerge, probably of the letter as
well as the envelopes.

Or, as I have done, create an envelope template in word,
and merge the addresses right to the envelope.
