Hello All. Thsi is not directly accounts related but hoping you can help me ease my workload.

I have been given a letter template in word where the addrees space is left blank.

Then in excel a list of all the address'ss i need to send the letter to, Over 100

cell A1 Mr Smith
B1 22 hackeny road
C1 london
D1 NW1

surley there must be some sort of mail merger function that will import the address'ss automaticlly, at the moment i am typing them out 1 by one.

PLEASE HELP ME !!! THANKS !

    the mail merge wizard will take you through all the steps needed, selecting where the data is, where it is to be put etc

    ive tried it i must be really thick as i can not work it out.

    any chance of a step by step guide ?

    as ive mentioned at the moment its is simply the word letter template and the excel file with the address'ss, they are in no way linked and are just normal files.

    firstly do i select - "use an existing list" or "type a new list" ?

    Red devil, you obviously don't see this as 'practice management and development!' I suggest you contribute to the forums in a more positive manner or not at all!

    So sorry Dean. I hadn't realised that the principle of free speech wasn't applied on these forums. Cheer up man, what's the matter with you? It's Friday afternoon for goodness sake!
