Re: Can I merge labels in Word, Office X?

Labels should not be a problem if the record source ("data file") is set up
correctly. What concerns me - and it may simply be a matter of semantics,
but a very important one - is your use of the terms "open" and "importing"
relevant to your data file. Technically you should do *neither* - the label
doc gets linked or connected to the record source, but you don't actually
open the data file in Word to do the merge.

Please provide specific detail on how you are attempting to do the merge -
steb-by-step - if these articles don't resolve the issue for you.

I'm trying to create labels with Word Office X in OS 10.3.9. Word freezes
every time when I open the data file. It says it is 'analyzing'.

I've tried importing Excel, Word and plain text files. Each record has
three
fields separated by tabs and ending in returns.

Shouldn't this be able to work?

Is there a bug somewhere or is it me?
