Generating mailing labels from outlook contacts

[Mike]

I want to generate mailing labels from my microsoft office outlook contacts.
I have been unsuccessful. Am I missing something or is there a glitch in
the system?

Here is what I've done.

1. Select "Mail Merge contacts"
2. Select "All Contacts in Current View"
3. Select "New Document"
4. Under Document Type, Select "Mailing Labels"
5. Select Merge To: "New Document"
6. Click OK

From here, I've proceeded to the set-up section of Mail Merge Helper and
chosen my printer and label information. At this point, I have problems
with choosing the right data source. I use Outlook Express as my default
email program and only use Outlook to organize my contact list. Could that
be the source of this problem??

Outlook must be your default mail program if you want to do mail merges.

Thanks Russ.

Can you access newsgroups through Outlook??

No. You don't need to. You can still use OE for newsgroups.
If you don't want to use Outlook for mail, just set it as your default for
the merge, then set it back to OE.
