Just MS word, in OS 9 on a mac. I have a list of addresses and want to make a sheet of labels. Or print the envelopes themselves, but I can't figure out the paper trays, either. Feelin' pretty dorky. I feel like I'm getting close, but help is largely unhelpful. Why do I need a main document and a data source? Why is there a single label function but not a simple label template I could just cut 'n' paste into? Or is there? Bleh.
I've mastered the mail merge. It was my career for years. Merging records from an obscure non-profit database program into Word to produce letters and envelopes on a nigh-daily basis. I was even tasked to write an excruciatingly detailed step-by-step instructional guide on the topic, just in case my supervisor and I happened to be in the same plane crash. Wish I could help you!
Is it an easily email-able thing? 'cause I'd really like it, actually. I don't know how often it will come up after this, but I got it to work in a really inefficient, kludgey way, and it'd be good to be schooled on how to really do it.
In this case, it was a mail merge specific to Raiser's Edge into Word, but I didn't keep a copy of it anyway. I should've thought of that... What programs are you working with in your mail merge?
When they say Microsoft Access, its meant in sort of the sort of the same way as the Freedom of Information Act, i.e. not at all -- you get Access to shit, baby.
