You need to add fields from your data source to the label. This might be an
"Addressblock" field (Word 2002 or later), or individual fields for Street,
City etc. Then you need to copy those fields into each label, then preview
and perform the merge.
But how to do that depends on which version of Works Suite you have (or
rather, which version of Word is in it). Also, the way to do it might be a
bit different in Works Suite than "standalone Word" (I can't tell you and
you might need to ask in a Works group).
If it is Word 2000, you should already see a Mailmerge toolbar that will
allow you to insert these fields. Then you will need to copy and paste them
into each label, ensuring you do not overwrite the <<Next Record>> field.
If it is Word 2002 or later, you may be seeing a "Mail Merge Wizard" which
has features for inserting various types of merge field, and an option to
"propagate" the contents of the first label to all the other labels. If not,
you can use Tools|Customize to reveal the mailmerge toolbar and use the
buttons in there.

I follow the steps on the taks launcher. The import of my address book
goes through but when I merge and use setup up no names appear on my
formatted labels. only the words " next record". WIn 95 was so easy.I am
using WinXP and the Works Suite
