Importing excel Data into an existing word table

Hi there,

I have a list of 250 names that are attending an event. I need to create name badges for all of them.

We have an existing Label Template (essentially a table but created specifically for the labels and printers we use), into which I need to paste these names.

Without going into each box and pasting the name of the attendee, is there a way I can do all at once?

My thanks in advance for your quick response.

RE: Importing excel Data into an existing word table

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your post. By what you describe the best method to use is mail merge.

This is a facility which enables you to merge data from a source, say Excel information, into a pre-formatted Word document, like the Label Template you use at work.

This certainly will save you time. For more information on mail merge, I recommend you search our hints & tips section, please follow the link:

Alternatively for hand-on instruction on mail merge, this is one of the units we cover in our Word advanced training course.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Jacob

Word tip:

Closing all your documents Quickly

Hold the SHIFT key down and using the mouse click on the file menu, it will now now CLOSE ALL rather than close. This closes all documents down but still leaves the application open.
