Using Contacts Category as list for printing labels
And, when I do a "print preview", the screen only shows the one name in the
box #1; all other 29 are blank. Can you help? Thanks, -- Leslie "Leslie" wrote: Judy, When I preview results, I can individually see each recipient in the upper left box (label#1).

In the Mail Merge dialog box select Mailing Labels under Mail Merge Options-Document Type. Click OK. Word opens with a dialog box that says: " Outlook created a mailmerge document and prepared your contact data for you. To complete the setup for Mailing Labels press the "Setup" button in section 1 of the of the Mailmerger Helper Dialog. OK" Click on OK. The Mailmerger Helper dialog box appears. Click on "Setup". Choose the label. Click OK and then Close. In the Mailings Tab in Word click on "Address Block". Make your choices and click on OK. Then, click on "Update Labels". If you then do a Preview you should see all your label data one by one. Then click on "Finish and Merge" HTH
