After creating the writer document that has all the labels presented along with the data source names, open up the data explorer (F4). Select the database and table that has the data you want, then select all the rows that you want to be imported into the writer document.
Once you've done that there is a button that will be visible of "data to fields". Select that and the data will be put into the field within the labels. Let me know if its unclear at all and I'll try to explain... /paul On 10/4/06, Daniel Currier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The Morses, I have tried playing around with ooo label. to me it seems hard to do the mail merge. i have used a database from a spreed sheet. do i have to drag and drop every name and address in each box or is there a function where i can just press and every name and address on the spreadsheet will be imported to different labels?
