Mail Merge Alternatives????

I am looking to automate the creation of a client check in "card" and not sure if there is a way to do it in Excel?

I realize i can do Mail Merge from Excel to Word but did not know if there is a way to do this without leaving Excel?

Ideally would want to be able to highlight a row, or check a box next to a client name, and then hit "print" and have it formatted in such a way that it would print out the card. Just not sure if there is an ability to do this in excel?

No there isn't. That's what mail merge is for as you've quite rightly identified.

You'd need to write code to do this for you in Excel, which is more complex and error prone than mail merge

Thank you Kyle. I was afraid of that, but appreciate the info.

Is there a way to make a mail merge happen and send data to Word, print, etc by selecting a row in Excel (via check box or ??) and hitting the "Print" button?

Out of a 130 column file, there will need to be 24 cells printed in the mail merge...
