Mail Merge in Office XP from Access to Word

[Tom Corbett]

I'm trying to creat labets in Word 2002 with information
that I have in Access 2002. I can do some but not all the
fields will go in. The main one like the street address
will not go. I have tried the wizard and it does not work
from there either. Everything is bunch up together with
some information missing on the label.
Could someone please help me.
Thanks,
Tom

Thiis site was great but I want to put the barcodes for
the zip codes too. I can't see how to do that?
Does anyone know.

Barcodes are essentially fields that reproduce their information based on
the zip code. It should be a simple matter to add the Barcode field to the
label and use in it the Zip code field to provide the variable. We don't use
the barcode system here in the UK - so I am scratching a bit for detail, but
something like {Barcode \u "{Mergefield zip}"} would appear to fit the bill.
Note the field boundaries are inserted either with the insert field tools or
hand entered with CTRL+F9
