Label Merging Help

[printingxpress]

Hi,

I’ve got an excel sheet with 7 headings:

Last Name, First Name, Title, Company Name, Address, City, ST, Zip.

I’m trying to print labels. I do the mail merge for Word 2000 and get to the end & then it doesn’t work. These are the fields it has me choose from:

AutoMergeField
AutoMergeField1
AutoMergeField2


And so on.

I tried ((LastName)) ((Last_Name)) and ((Last Name)) and none seem to work. I can’t get the right fields into the labels. Any ideas on how I can do this? The (( )) are really arrows but I can't print them here as they don't show up.


Thank you,

Jerry

Sigh, unfortunately, it doesn't have the answer. I just don't know what to put in the fields to make it work.


Thanks anyway.

Something must be going wrong when you do the mail merge.

You should end up with a dropdown with the headings.

Are you sure you selected all the correct options?

I know it's weird. I only get 5 fields to use & I have at least 7 diff. ones from the Excel doc. I'm merging from. I followed the directions from help so I think it's right but I would never swear it.

Thanks.

Oh, well.
