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

thanks for offering to help.

My data source looks like this:

name <tab> address <tab> city <cr>
Smith, Joe <tab> 1 Main St. <tab> Boston, MA <cr>

etc. Saved as a text file

1. Open blank document in Word
2. Data Merge Manager > Create > labels choose the appropriate label from
the list.
3. Document shows the labels as chosen
4. Data Merge Manager > Data Source browse to and select above file
5. This is when Word freezes and I have to force quite. (Spinning rainbow
wheel)

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.
