Mail merge an Excel spreadsheet into a Publisher newsletter

[Guest]

I have created a newsletter in Publisher and would like to merge the mailing
addresses from an Excel spreadsheet that was sent to me. The columns in the
spreadsheet do not have a "name", as in a field that the mail merge would
recognize. Is that my first step?

This newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product that's
part of Office Professional.

I'd suggest reposting your question to a newsgroup that's related to
Publisher, or perhaps one that's related to Excel.

When you repost, it might help the responsers if you mention what version of
Publisher and Excel you're using (and possibly what operating system)

Well you are using two programs in Microsoft Office, but not Access.


Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
