I am using Word 2003 Every year, we have to create new customer manila file folders. I am trying to create a Merge label for Customer file names. So I will only have to type these name in once. I am using Avery labels #8366 - White filing labels for 1/3 cut folders. I have created a data file with customer name and account #. I have created a page of labels with these 2 fields on it along with the year 2009. I put the fields in all of the labels. But when I go to merge, it only merges 1 data file to all of the labels. In other words I end up with a page a labels that all have the same customer name on them. What am I doing wrong? I know it must be something simple, but I can not figure out what. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Aurora
I know, isn't that frustrating!! To get labels to print on each label on the page you must insert your address field then hit propagate labels.
