mail Merge - labels

[little_dorrit]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I have made labels previously with no problem but now I am having difficulty. Originally I used a Mac database and converted it to Word. Now I can't remember how I did that so I went to the trouble of typing the list of names I needed into an Excel workbook. When I try to create the labels, the
sheet says "next record" in all the cells except the first one, which remains blank.
When I try to enter the merge fields, it just shows the first name on my list. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds to me like you haven't clicked the 'Fill in the items to complete
your document' button in the Select Recipients List section.

It's also possible that you simply have not actually completed the merge.
Perhaps you're just looking at the sample data record being displayed in the
label document... What happens if you click either the 'Merge to printer' or
the 'Merge to new document' button in the last section (Complete Merge) of
the Mail Merge Manager.
