    Mail Merge format both Rt & Lf align on same row

    OFFICE 2000

    I have an excel macro that organizes data, opens Word so a Mail Merge can be performed.

    (I haven't been able to figure out how to automate the Tools > Mail Merge > Merge > Merge so the user must click thru these steps manually.)

    I'd like to add another field to my label but there aren't any lines available so I must add it adjacent to an existing field.

    LABEL LIKE:
    «Field1»
    .....«Field2»............«Field3»
    «Field4»......«Field5»


    Fields 2 & 3 row is okay because they always both same number of digits, so 12 spaces between works

    Field 4 is varying length I would like Field 4 Left Aligned and Field5 Right Aligned
    LIKE:
    «Field1»
    .....«Field2»............«Field3»
    «Field4».................«Field5»

    Re: Mail Merge format both Rt & Lf align on same row

    Figured out a solution, which perhaps will help someone else in the future.

    I inserted a table into each label and placed the Merge Fields into the table cells.

    this enabled me to align each cell as required.



    I attempted to crosspost at wordbanter.com but as of this posting the cross post hasn't shown up.
