Start Mail Merge - Envelopes, Labels

[Donaldo]

When open Mailings I have two options "Envelopes, Labels Create" and "Start
Mail Merge" Letters, E-Mail Messages, ENVELOPES, LABELS, Directory.

I would like to know the difference if choose Envelopes from "Create" or
"Start Mail Merge"

Your help will be appreciated.

The Start Mail Merge item would be used if you wanted to produce a number of
envelopes with the names and addresses for each coming from a data source
that might be a table in a Word document, and Excel spreadsheet, a table or
query in an Access database, etc.

The other item would be used if you just wanted to create one envelope and
in that case, a dialog box opens into which you insert the address that is
to appear on the envelope.
