MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2006No labels in preview mode
When trying to merge an Excel Document into labels with Mail merge, and following all the steps, when step 5 (Preview your lables) is reached, no labels show up. When we complete the next step (finalize your labels) there are still no labels. Why not? What has happened? This was working just fine Friday and now it does not work on any computer (four in all). It is very important that I am able receieve help on this because we are a non-for-profit and unable to afford the $35 that Microsoft will charge us. But mailing are how we raise money. Thank you for your help! Quite honestly, Arf, I'd pretty much have to see the file to know exactly why not. Things to try: 1. Select your names and address in Excel. Hit Insert-->Name-->Define and call it myaddies. Then rerun the mail merge using myaddies instead of "entire sheet". 2. If 1 didn't work, try copying your names and addresses to a new Excel file. I've found several times that it was something weird in the Excel file and it worked. 3. You DO have merge fields in your document, right? They'd probably look similar to the picture in this article: http://www.officearticles.com/word/troubleshoot_mail_merge_results_in_microsoft_ word.htm 4. Send me the file to my first name (below) at the website below. ************ Hope it helps!

See the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm Or maybe all you need to do is select Show Gridlines from the Tables menu to see the outline of the labels if that is what you mean by "No labels"  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
