i know how to do a mail merge to create labels, but am having a difficult
time doing it in Vista, which is new to me. can anyone help, please?

Well, if you are using addresses, its no different once you point to where
your Contacts are stored which is in the 'Windows Contacts' folder.

Are you using Windows Mail, or Outlook?

If you use WM, you will have to export the your contacts to a .CSV file,
which you can then edit with Excel, and use to mail merge with Word.

i can't figure out where to go from there.

Sounds like you need to post this in an Office newsgroup - the problems
you're having aren't Vista related at all.

I've never done a mail merge, only read about it...

But I think you'd have to have your document in Word, not Excel...
Your mail recipient list would be the .CSV file that you export from Windows
Contacts.

For more help, type "Mail Merge" in the search box in Word. Or go to

I'm with you AK. I do know how to mail merge, done it many times, and
never had the problems I am having with Vista. The merge only puts
information at the top and bottom of each page. If I copy the files to
my laptop which is running with XP also using word 2007, it works fine.
The problem has absolutely nothing to do with Outlook or Windows mail.

The problem IS with Vista.
Is there anyone who has figured it out yet?
