Mail Merge

How do you set-up a mail merge / address label list using data from Excel??

RE: Mail Merge

Dear Amy

Thank you for attending Word Intermediate course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

by asking about Excel being the data source for mail merge I am assuming that you know how to set up the data source as MS Word table!!

If you are using the mail merge wizard then all you have to do is when you get to the step 3 of 6 - select recipient step click on the browse button and from the file type choose MS Excel files because sometimes it only shows the Word files. Look for the location and choose the file that you have your list of recipeints!!

Please remember to have the first row as your column headings in MS Excel.

If it doesn't work please press the reply button and I should be able to look into the matter!!

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Word tip:

Changing characters to superscript

If you are working with text and numbers and want to use metered square as in 4m3 you can highlight the number three, click on Format and Font and click on the Superscript check box.
