Default Help with mail merge

I have created a table of addresses in microsoft word and am trying to merge
it into labels with the mail merge tool. When I do this none of my data
appears in the labels. They are blank. Copied the data from word and
transferred to excel and tried the merge again and the same thing. Any ideas?

What version of Word? Perhaps
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...AMailMerge.htm would help?

I suspect you didn't insert any merge fields into the main document to
pull in the data.

See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm,
especially the section headed "Insert the fields".
