Mailmerge in 2003

[Lost in excel]

Is it not possible to use a custom layout when using mailmerge for creating
labels? You select the layout, yet it doesn't come across after you
propogate the labels?
This worked just fine before I upgraded to office 2003.

Thanking you in advance for you help.

What kind of custom layout do you mean? (It's not completely clear)

 

[Lost in excel]

I created a custom label format to fit our labels that we had printed.
When I get to the point to select the format, I select the custom label
format I created that resides with all the layout that came with Word.

Sorry, I should have realised what you were talking about.

Select the layout first, enter your fields in label 1, then Propagate
Labels. If that doesn't work,
a. if you are using Tablet PC (or, in some cases, Vista) there is a problem
with the Propagate Labels
b. you could try the macros at
