Mrs. Muddled Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Is there someone "out there" who works efficiently with Excel? My experience with the program is very minimal. I have all of our addresses and telephone numbers on a spreadsheet. I am trying to print out a list. I'm doing it with Microsoft Word as a merged label mailing. When in Excel I have set up my labels to appear with a variety of fonts, bold and underlining. None of these things are appearing when I print out my labels. What do I need to do to force the merge to use the fonts etc., that I wish to appear on the label format? Quote
Madmanmcp Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 What do I need to do to force the merge to use the fonts etc., that I wish to appear on the label format? I'm not the expert but I believe what Mail Merge is doing is just importing the data from Excel as text and none of the formatting will come with it. You will have to add the font formatting after its in Word. Quote
mike Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Or, I believe you can create the address list in Word and do all your merging there. Quote

Followed your instructions re using Word to format. Why didn't I think of that???? Don't answer that. Anyhoo, you were a big help. Sometimes I just can't see the forest for the trees. Quote
