linking Excel info to Word template?

[macmoosie]

I'm trying to set up a system whereby selected titles from a list can be checked (with a check mark, or some other easy indicator), and upon doing so, those titles would move over to a preformated Word template that can be printed on Avery 5161 labels. Sounds simple, right? I can't figure out a way to make it work. I'm using Word Perfect 9 and excel.exe. Does the list need to be in excel, or can all of this be done in word? I've tried to do the whole thing in excel, but have had problems with formatting. I could really use some tips.
Thank you.

macmoosie,

Welcome to Tek-Tips!

When you get a chance, can you clarify whether the destination template is in MS Word or in Word Perfect? I wasn't completely sure from the original question since both are mentioned.

Good Luck!
Tim

Sorry for the confusion, the destination template is in WordPerfect 9. It seems easy enough to merge spreadsheets and wordperfect documents, but I can't figure out how to make it selective so that only the things I select from the spread sheet appear (without having to alter the fields every time). The point is that this would be used often, by different people, all of whom might be choosing to move different titles to the label page to then print.

Thanks again
