Hi Escapists,
Hope you are all better than I am at the moment, my brain is about to explode.
Ok I need help ASAP with a mail merge. Now I need to get addresses (about 3000 of them) from a table in word onto labels using mail merge. I have never done this before and have been left in the lurch by someone who never turned up for work due to hangover.
Anyway, I have started the mail merge done all the things asked with the label set up thats all fine.
My problem is this: when i click "edit recipients" all the addresses pop up all ticked. when i ok'd this expecting the addresses to be on the labels. They are not there. The only thing that is on the labels is "New Record".
I wouldn't mind if I had more time to work out what I'm doing wrong but I have been told by my boss that he needs it done today and if I can't get it done then basically to start looking for other employment.
So if anyone could help or give me an idea as to what I'm doing wrong I will be forever grateful.
Thanks Escapists
EDIT: Please disregard all of the above. I am seriously stupid. I have read more instructions on the internet, and I have realised that i have about 3 more steps i needed to do in order to get the addresses onto the labels.
Sorry to waste your time, I think my brain fell out of my skull this morning.
