Mail Merge

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Can someone please give me an idiots guide to set up mail
merge - not with e-mail?

I want to list all my names and addresses I suppose in a
database and be able to print them onto labels to send
out Xmas cards.

I have 'Ability'database on my computer.

PLEASE HELP!!! It's driving me crazy trying to figure it
out.

Thanks

Open Microsoft word..
Search in the built in help in word for "mail merge" or "labels".

Shenan,

You have several options.
Your database can be a MS Word table, an Excel spreadsheet, or an Access
database.

You can use MS Word or MS Publisher to perform the mail merge. Try the F1
Key in either.
