Mail Merge

[Robbeh]

Hi Folks,

I hope you can help, as I appear to be fighting a loosing battle!

I've done a mail merge of letters, and so far, all has gone swimmingly. Unfortunately when it comes to do the labels, I've fallen apart.

I've created a template to match the labels I'm using (basically a document with a table in it that's 2 cols wide and 7 rows). I then go to mail merge and insert the contact's name and address.

When I do the merge, it gives me all 14 'boxes' on each page as the same label, rather than giving me labels for 14 different contacts.

Do you guys know a way around this?

Yours hopefully!
Rob

Robbeh,

use the mail merge wizard and select Labels as your document type. The wizard will then lead you through the process and insert a {<NextRecord>} field (or something called quite similar) in the appropriate places.

Start with your existing label document, delete all merge fields, kick off the wizard and specify that you want to use the current document. Define the first label, and then tell the wizard to copy the first label to the other cells in the table. It will all fall into place nicely.

cheers
