Mail Merge macro

[Wonder Women]

How can I record a macro, with a pause, and then resume the macro to make a
mail merge. Data for merge is stored in Excel. Form is set up in Word. I
can't get the macro to record.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I think I'd record the macro while in MSWord.

I would think that it would be easier there (from someone who hasn't done this).

If you think that it might be true, you may want to post in one of the MSWord
newsgroups.

Sorry -- but this is what I have done and it will not record the macro. I
start out getting the form in word and the macro works until I try to do the
mail merge section. Anyone, help???

If you started the process in MSWord and used MSWord's macro recorder, you may
want to post to an MSWord newsgroup.

Hi,

I hardly ever use Word but I was doing volunteer work at an organization
that wanted to run mailing labels in Word. I set up the list(s) in Excel
with macros to create sublists and then, after much effort made my one and
only macro in Word to select the sublists and run the labels. I used the
following MS article as a basis and stumbled along and finally got something
to work:

HOWTO Automate Word from Visual Basic to Create a Mail Merge for Mailing
Labels.htm

If you have problems and need assistance you can email me.

CHORDially,
Art Farrell
