I have a list of address and want to do envelops. When I go to get data
source in mail merge I get this message: word cannot open file as a data
or header source becauce it is a mail merge main document.
When I saved the list of addresses how did it save the doc?
Help
Thanks

See the article "Creating a Mail Merge Data Source" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/CreateADataSource.htm

and maybe "Convert Labels into Mail Merge Data File" on fellow MVP Graham

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
