Problem with using Excel data in a Word mail merge

[Guest]

I’m trying to create labels using Excel data in a Word mail merge, however
once I've completed the mail merge in Word some of the information in the
addresses are reversed (i.e, name, company and then company, name) and in
some cases the whole address is completely reversed (i.e., starting with the
country, then the address). Wierd thing is I used the Excel list last year
for the mail merge with no problems. Both programs are 2003.

Are you sure the merge fields are in the correct order in your mail merge
main document? Also, be wary of using the seemingly convenient "Address
Block." Instead, insert the specific fields manually.
