Default turning tables into labels, possible?

No. It's possible you need to add a heading row to your table so that Word
has something to call the merge fields.

hey!!!! i just figured it out. i had to convert the table to text and
separate them with tab marks. save as, then just go and do a regular
merge
for labels using the save as document. was that what you all were trying
to
tell me to do?

someone sent me a mailing list as a table that has over 100 names on
there.
can i just convert the table into a mailing label format and print, so i
wont
have to start a new contact list in access and retype all that info
again?
the table has columns for: first name, last name, address, city, state,
zip.
can i even do a mail merge? i want simple. i dont care how it's done.
i
want a simple mail out without having to retype all of this. it's in
microsoft word 2007. thanks a bunch
