Mail merge question

[Marvin]

Hi,
I was going to create a letter that goes to some people
in my group and I want to use mail merge. I also want to
create a label. How can I create label with specific
size, and how the mail merge work?

Thanks,

Marvin

Create two separate mail merge main documents, based on the same data
source. Make the first a letter merge, and the second a label merge. In the
label merge, use the "New Label" button in Label Options if you need to
create a custom label layout.

Marvin,

Yes you can create label with specific size. Just check
your label size, and you can find many size options.
Actually Microsoft Word has some manufacturer listed on
the option, complete with the product numbers of each
manufacturer. Just choose which one your label is.

Here is my explanation to help you out with mail merge.
Go to:
"Tools" -> "Letters and Mailings" -> "Mail Merge Wizard".

First Step:
Under Select document type, select the type of documents
you're working on. Then click "Next: Starting document".

Second Step:
Select 'Use the current document' option then click
on "Next: Select Recipient"

Third Step:
Now you have to select the people you're going to send
the letter to. It can be done using Excel or Access
tables. Just select 'Use an existing list', then open
your contact database by clicking "Browse...". After you
finish just click on "Next: Write your letter"

Fourth Step:
Write your letter and insert merged field into your
letter. Click on "Address block..." to write your contact
information. And "Greeting line." for the greetings. Then
click on "Next: Preview your letters"

Fifth Step:
Preview your letter. You can see who your recipients are
and if you finish, just click on "Next: Complete the
merge"
Then you're finish. Now you can view your letter and also
your recipients. You can also print it all
(click "Print."), or edit specific letters (click "Edit
individual letters.").

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Martino Widjojo
