Hi everybody. I'm new here, referred by a friend in the forum. So please forgive if I mess up some protocol I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure out my mail merge problem: I have my mailing labels data in a word table and in previous versions of word I could just merge that into labels. Now that I'm using my new version of word, when I make the step of choosing my "table" as a data source, I get a pop up saying I need record and field delimiters. I have searched on Microsoft and Google for info about how to "convert" my previous data table (it's 21 pages long!) into a data source that works in Word 2003. I find using the table so much easier for making updates. Does anyone know how I can still use my table? PS I tried moving it to Excel which was *somewhat* more successful except it chose to split some of my records into multiple cells thus skewing the whole alignment and having data in the wrong labels in a chain reaction. I thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide. Sincerely, MintCool

u'r on the way with excel... but first u've got to convert ur datas by puttin ur OWN separation, and not let xl do it.Try this. Send me a short sample if needed...
