Works Mail Merge ---HELP

grands14 · Guest

I have new Dell desktop which came with Works preinstalled. I am having
problems with mail merge. I'm merging with a Works db (Christmas card list,
which includes names, addresses) and want to make mailing labels. I've
searched the help in the Works program, followed all the directions to a "T".
It says it has all the names etc. and I fill out one field, but when I go to
print, it only prints the one field. It does not print them all. What am I
doing wrong?? Here it is, 12/22 and I HAVE to get my cards out!!! HELP!

The following is instruction for Mailing Labels using my Works 6.0
version.

Suspect they will apply to your version as well.

Mailing Labels

1. Get a blank word processing screen in the Works 6.0 format.

2. Get the Tools menu and click on Labels (not on mail merge) then on
the bottom button for mailing labels and on OK.

3. Select the label size you want and click on New Document.

4. Click on the box for Merge information from another type of file
and select your database as the source (not the address book).

5. Now you will see a page of labels the upper left one will be white
and the others shaded. Use the Insert Fields dialogue box to insert
the fields you want on your label in the white label.

6. Click on View Results and you will see the first label in the
white space. Scroll with the scroll bar at the bottom of the View
Results dialogue box to see all the labels in succession.

7. Click on Print Preview to see all of the labels on the pages. If
you need to edit any label you will need to go back too View Results
and scroll to the label to edit. This way you can change the font or
color on any label.

8. If you want to change the font for all of the labels or have the
print colored go to the Edit menu, click on Select All and select the
font and color you want for all of the labels.

9. Print the labels on plain paper first to be certain they fit on
the label paper. You may have to adjust margins to make them fit.
