Mail Merge? What would be the best way to go about this?

[clumein2]

Monthly Worksheet: I have a sheet with 100 rows. 1st COL. is Names. 6th COL. is a total ($) of the previous 5. I need to Invoice these people once a month and need some advice on how you would go about doing this.

I first thought I would create an invoice (separate sheet) in Excel and have the invoice sheet reference the cell(s) I need. But I need to (and would like) to be abel to choose anywhere from (1) to (50) names and just have that many invoices print out. But I don't know how. Then.. I thought maybe if I create an invoice template in 'Word'? But.. I don't know how to have it reference (call up) the cells I need and print them. Anyway... I think you get the idea.

1. Choose the cells To be merged into an invoice.
2. Choose which cells to print.
3. Batch print them.

Thank you very ver much for any suggestions.

a 'handraulic' options:

1) copy the records you want to a new file & save it
2) use the new file as data source for a mail merge into word
3) set up the mail merge as described here:
