mail merge

[Guest]

I am trying to do a mail merge (printing labels) using a list I already have
in microsoft excel. I follow the instructions exactly and when I hit ok with
the mail merge recipients box up (everything is selected) all that comes up
is one page of labels that says "Next Record"?

This is the next-to-last step. You have propagated the labels; now you must
complete the merge.

I tried that and it came up 216 pages but they all came out blank.

Did you insert any merge fields on the labels before propagating them? See

Ok I did all that the problem I'm having now is when I click on the first
label to enter my merge fields on my tool bar it only says "Insert Word
Field" it doesn't have "Insert Merge Field"

Click the little arrow at the right hand end of the merge toolbar and 'add
or remove buttons' Ensure Merge Fields is checked.
