mailmerge and envelopes?

[Wilson Pye]

Hi,

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible to use mail merge
with printing envelopes?

Hi Wilson,

It certainly is. While you can do it in all versions of Word, the
mailmerge interface changed in Word XP, so knowing what version of Word you
are using makes it easier to give specific instructions. However, I would
suggest that from the View menu, you select Toolbars and then check the
Mailmerge item so that the mailmerge toolbar is visible. One of the options
under the Main document setup button on that toolbar is envelopes.

Hi Doug,

"All about automaing Word from VFP"

I am finishing an app and the last stages are to add some documents with
mail merge thru
automation. I have managed to hack my way through Word with VFP and the
documents.
The last hurdle is the label code and mail merge. Individual etters went
ok. I am trying to figure out out how to automate the labels and letters
with mail merge.

Hi Wilson,

I am assuming that VFP stands for Visual FoxPro. If that's the case, you
might be better of asking in microsoft.public.fox.programmer.exchange.

For information on the Word end of it, type mailmerge into the visual basic
editor and press F1

Hi Wilson,

Go to the Knowledgeg Base on microsoft.com and search something like

HOWTO AND Wd2002 AND MAILMERGE AND LABELS AND VB

There's a HowTo article written for Visual Basic that gives you the basic
code you need for specifying the type of label, creating the label sheet,
etc. (*Please* feel free to then change the sample code on how to fill that
labels, using Range instead of Selection!)

Note that just setting your merge type to "Label" does NOT give you a label
sheet. You first need to create this, then start with the merge type, etc.
