Access Files to Mac

[Jeff_Solon]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

I have a new Imac and need to bring my window Access address book files to this new computer so that I can print out my mailing list on avery labels.

Could someone give me the steps to convert over? I'm assuming that I need to convert the access files first on the my old pc, then import them. I have office and excell on both computers..

I'd be grateful for any step by step info..
thanks
Jeff

Access files will do no good on the Mac, but it isn't a matter of
"converting" them . Use the export feature of Access to create an Excel file
from the Table or Query in Access that provides your address records. You'll
be able to use that file on Your Mac.

Step-by-step for the export varies depending on which version of Access
you're using, which you fail to mention. See Word Help on Mail Merge Manager
on how to do the merge to Labels using the Excel file as the data source.
