I have produced an excel spreadsheet as a membership list. I would like to produce mailing labels from this list.
 
The easiest way I can think of is to link the spreadsheet into Access. This will enable you to treat the spreadsheet as an Access table. Access has a report wizard which will create the mailing labels for you pretty easily.

Let me know if you need details.

Hello Raftree,

You can use the Excel worksheet as the Data Source instead of going through Access.

Step 2 of Mail Merge
Select: "Open Data Source"
Change "Files of Type" to Excel
Select the Excel File

The remainder is inserting the Merge fields into your Word Document. The column headers in your Excel Spreadsheet will be the Field Names.

This should work.

On thought, why not import this list into "Contacts" in Outlook and then use "Address Book" as your data source for a mail merge.

If you are using Outlook 2000 there are some neat tricks that I can tell you about.

Good Luck,
Michael
