Mail merge labels Outlook 2003
I am trying to produce a list of labels in Outlook 2003 contacts using Mail
Merge, which I used to do frequently in previous version of Outlook without problem. However, now when I reach the Mail Merge Helper screen, the option at the bottom to Merge (in Merge data with document) is not available to me, so i can neither select the fields i want to include in the label, nor complete the merge itself. Therefore how to i print a group of contact addresses as labels?

You should be using the mail merge toolbar for this, not the Mail Merge
Helper. Should be self explanatory there. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Steff" wrote in message ...

Yes it is.
I trust you are using a compatible version of Word. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Steff" wrote in message ...

Mail merge labels Outlook 2003
Have figured out that you must have meant to start the Mail Merge in Outlook,
but when Word opens up to close down the Helper and use the Mail Merge toolbar. I am thus doing this to select my label type, insert an address block and then propagate labels. However when i then try and produce the labels i get only blank pages. I have tried the View Merged DAta button, the Merge to New Document and Merge to Printer. What step am i missing out?

Mail merge labels Outlook 2003
In outlook contacts (with only those contacts i want to print labels for
selected), i then go Tools, Mail Merge, Mailing Labels, OK. Word then opens, with a window about Setup, I click OK, the Mail Merge Helper opens, I close it down using the x in the top right hand corner, and use the Mail Merge toolbar as outlined below.

Mail merge labels Outlook 2003
From Contacts I am selecting only those fields in "current view" which is
name and address in this case. Using the Word Mail Merge toolbar I am inserting an Address Block with name, company name and postal address. If this doesn't give you the information you need to help me then perhaps you could try and explain the question in greater detail.
