Mail merge data source
I am having trouble making mailing labels and would appreciate any help.
Outlook 2003. I go to Contacts I select the contacts that I have named Mom & Dad Christmas list Tools - Mail merge All contacts in current view All contact fields New document mailing labels New document OK The Mail Merge Helper box opens. Under Create it says" Merge type: mailing labels Main document: Document56 I go to set up and pick the labels that I am using. Under data source it says Data: C:\docum-1\...\OMMC.doc I think that is where the problem lies. If I click on Get data i see: Create data source Get data Use Adrress book Header options I have tried all of these and It still won't merge properly. Under Edit I see the same link for the C:docum-1\..OMMC.doc name. If I select open data source I get to a select data sourc box. It is called My data sources. In this box there are two options. Connect to New Data Source New SQL Server Connection What do I do next? I end up with a blank document or jumbled words if I try to go any further. Can anyone help? Mary |

Mail merge data source
You already got the data from Outlook. There is no need to get another data source. Skip that step. In the article at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH011218841033, pick up the action with Step 3.
