Use of Address Block in Mail Merge for envelopes from a list

H

Humdum

I have been strying for almost a day to get Word to create a set of envelopes
from a list of names and addresses in Excel. First I could not get the
Address Block to position in the place where the "preview" shows that my
address will be placed. finally (after much clicking and waiting) I got the
address bolck to appear in the correct place but when I finalized the merge,
only the first line (the name) appeared in the correct place. The second and
third lines appeared at the left. When I tried to tab them over to align with
the first line, they disappeard. Very frustrating. I know that once before I
was able to get these envelopes printed.

Save yourself a lot of time and heartache and abandon the use of the
addressblock field in favour of inserting the individual address fields in
the layout you require.
