Peter:
Thanks for your reply. I have a small database. Using 002.3 I was able using
the Wizard to create a address database from my kde address book. I just can
not seem to find a way to select the address I want to print (or delete the
ones I do not want). I would then like to print these address on a custom
Avery label template. The mail merge wizard only seems useful for letter's.
Could not figure out mail merge labels on a custom template.
