MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2004Mail Merge Label layout.
Why do I get this on the label Mr B Bloggs 24 The Street Overthere WARWICK, Warwickshire, CV11 3GH when I thought I had laid out this: Mr B Bloggs 24 The Street Overthere WARWICK Warwickshire CV11 3GH I can alter it as often as you like but it comes back wrong. Word 2002; matching Outlook; label L7161; tried through Word and through Outlook. Contact subfolder looks like the latter layout You appear to be using the address block. Insert the individual fields. If you start the merge from Outlook you can access *all* the fields. The field you probably want is the Mailing_Address field. If you start from Word it is the Postal_Address field you want.

I did not know that Address Block was anything special. In what must now be 20 hours of trying and searching KB etc I haven't come across anything defining it as being different from selecting any other field. You will no doubt tell me where to look. It has been a frustrating business. I know the programs have to be versatile in order to cover all the more specialised needs but I would have thought that a few pre-programmed setups for the most common needs would be available. Something like 'Click here to print mailing labels for the Contact subfolder on view onto Avery label Lxxxx'. Now it is like buying a motor vehicle as a flat pack - assemble in the order of your choice every time you want to go to the store. Thanks are due to you for your help. > You appear to be using the address block. Insert the individual fields. If > you start the merge from Outlook you can access *all* the fields.

The addressblock is a special type of field that combines address fields in a particular manner. It may be fine if you are American, using US format addresses, but for elsewhere (and probably America also) you have much more control by inserting the individual fields that you require.
