turning tables into labels, possible?
No. It's possible you need to add a heading row to your table so that Word
has something to call the merge fields. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "strawberryangel83" wrote in message ... hey!!!! i just figured it out. i had to convert the table to text and separate them with tab marks. save as, then just go and do a regular merge for labels using the save as document. was that what you all were trying to tell me to do?

The labels are done and everything. What i described below is what I needed
to do. There was a header row. However, there needed to be header row delimiters to separate the data. So I chose for tabs to be the separaters. "Suzanne S.

But there was no need to convert the table to text. Word is quite happy with
a table as a data source; I use them all the time. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "strawberryangel83" wrote in message ...
