Print multi invoices from a spreadsheet

[Guest]

I have a table with 50 + records (rows)
I would like to be able to copy and print each row separately into 1 form
template which is located on a separate spreadsheet in the same workbook
(invoice)

You may find that using excel for your data and MSWord for your invoice looks
prettier.

You may want to read some tips for mailmerge.

The first is from David McRitchie and the second is by Beth Melton and Dave
Rado.

And just in case you have text that needs to be formatted (percentages, for
example):

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/assistance/HA011164951033.aspx

And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill
has instructions here:

about half way down the page.

I often cheat instead of racking my brain.

I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use:
=text(a2,"00000")
(or whatever format I want)
and use that field in the mailmerge.

(Cheating doesn't bother me anymore <vbg>.)
