Mail Merge from M/S Excel

[major82]

How do I get M/S word 2007 to pull over the Excel Spreadsheet when I am
trying to perform a mail merge from M/S Excel? M/S windows does not locate
the spreadsheet.
My O/S is windows vista premium, 32 bit.
Thank you

Consider asking this question in an Office 2007 newsgroup.

You're more likely to get useful help there.

Thank you for your prompt response. Please recommend an
Office 2007 newsgroup.

I am assigning you some homework: look for any newsgroup with "office" in
its name.

I'm using Office 2000 and this may not be helpful as the 2007 is quite a bit
different I think. From a Word page - Tools - Mailmerge - Data Source (will
be greyed out until you have created your main document) - Get data - Open
data source - then browse to your spreadsheet.


These are on the Microsoft communites server like this forum:-

microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields

microsoft.public.word.newusers

microsoft.public.office.misc


And this is the main office page:

At the bottom of the left hand pane - Discussion groups.

HI,
MS has an example for printing labels.
