Hi Curt -

Someone here will be quite willing to help you out, but you'll get far
better results if you post as a new question rather than tacking on to
another that's over a month old & essentially 'closed'. Have a look here
first, then create a new post with all necessary info:

Sorry about my earlier post - for some reason Entourage was showing it as a
part of an earlier thread.

Mail Merge requires 2 files to start with - one being the main doc (form
letter, lable doc, etc) and the second being a data source (Excel workbook,
Word data doc, text file, etc.). The toolbars have little to do with it
other than the fact that there is a special toolbar for merge as well as a
Data Merge Manager palette... The palette is far more useful, IMO.

Take a look at Word Help on Mail Merge as well as the information available
here:
