Hi all,

I have a couple of word tables that i want to use as a data source for a mail-merge, how do I define the fields for this table - quick answer appreciated as this needs to go out today & I dont relish the prospect of transfering all this data to a list. The table is in the form - column1 = name, column2 = address

Cheers

Can you open these tables as the data source?
 
yes but i dunno how to define the fields
 
Rules:

Row 1 (AND ONLY ROW 1) must be the headings, i.e., "Name", "Address".
Row 2 must be the first record.

No completely blank rows until the end of your data. No completely blank columns until after the last column.

If you follow these rules, you shouldn't have any problems. Your Mailmerge field names should automatically show as "Name", "address", etc. Brainbench MVP for Microsoft Word
