My once-a-year bout with mail merge seems a lot easier with Office 2002 with
one problem. I got nice address labels for my Christmas cards.  The only
thing missing is the ZIP or Postal Code.  From every darned label!  When I
was going through the wizard I made sure that everybody ...

I revise my outlook contact list, but the mailmerge to address envelopes
prints the old list.  How can I force the mailmerge recipient list to update?

I need help.  I created a mail merge table for a form.  However, I need to
save the individual forms as the data in each is different for each form.  
How is this done?

I'm trying to merge data into two places on a page.  What I need to do is to
have a row 1 go to Area 1, then row 2 go to Area 2, row 3 go to Area 1, row 4
go to Area 2, etc.  It's like a label, but my document isn't a label.
Any suggestions?

I have a mail merge to do that creates form letters for everyone at my
company.  However, I need each person's form letter to be saved in a separate
file.  Is there a way to have a mail merge take each merged record into a
separate document, rather than merge everything into one ...

I am using Word 2002 and a Works data base to print labels.  After running
the Wizard and selecting all the records, only one label per page is
printing.  I entered the correct label type (Avery 15160) and have the
correct template.

The customer can enter a complete middlename but on the merge document they
only want to see the first letter and a period.  (Enter Lee but want to see
L.)  When merge is clicked a new document is created.

I often use mail merge to create letters.  Then I have to create another
document to print envelopes for the letters.  I would like to be able to
create one merge document and set up both the letter and the matching
envelope.  When I merge the document it should create 2 new ...

I am unable to get my Excel database into a label merge.  It works fine until
the final step, then there is no data in the labels.

Every time I mail merge for labels, it takes me a couple of times to get it
just right.  The most frustrating part is that after the Merge it creates the
"Layout" document with all the Insert Merge Fields on it.
How I can easily edit that document without having to paste in my ...

I am trying to use Word 2000 to merge an image from a GoldMine 6.5 dBASE
database. I have tried the suggestions given so far in this group and I have

image file for each contact in a user-defined field ...

Good morning
I am having trouble merging from excel to word. Some of the text from excel
when merged to word is missing. It recognises the correct column to find the
data but does not pick it all up. i.e. It only shows some of the text that it

I am creating a form letter in Word, with an Excel file as the source.  I am
able to merge the file fine, except there is once cell that is not in the
Merge Data Range, that I want in each document.  How do you insert a single
cell from an Excel file into a word document?
