MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / February 2005Excel Column Labels and mail merge
Does mail merge support using the labels defined within Excel as the Header field? I would think that it does, but when I attach to the Excel file it doesn't automatically map, but instead shows me the first record and I have to then manually map it, i.e.: John Doe 1000 Main St Anytown IA 50001 ... This isn't the worst thing in the world, but I'd prefer to have MailMerge recognize the labels as it seems it would streamline the process -- I have this fields labelled as First Name, Last Name, etc. I am using Windows XP, Office XP. You should forget about using the Address Block and place the individual merge fields where you want them.  SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP > Does mail merge support using the labels defined within Excel as the > Header [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > I am using Windows XP, Office XP. |
