can't access merge directory

[Wicket]

I tried yesterday to get an answer to whether or not I can take existing
labels in Word or Publisher and make them into a merge directory. No answer.
So I typed in a whole new directory last night. I can see the labels but I
can't make a merge out of them. The program doesn't idenitify it as a
directory but it will let me edit it. The only thing I can think of is that I
combined the name (first and last) and the City, State and Zip. Is this why I
can't open it or it won't identify it? I sure don't want to start all over
again typing 9 pages of labels to get a directory. HELP!!

I answered your post in the mailmerge group as follows:

For the Word ones, see Graham Mayor's page at

For the Publisher ones, you can always try either cutting/pasting your
document into WOrd first, or exporting in a format (perhaps rtf) that Word
can read.
