Is there a way to do some type of mail merge with envelopes/addresses?

I'd be doing this through MS Word.

Thanks.

I have the instructions for mail merging in W2K and '07 in a word docs... - Mel Profit Jul 19, 14:24 2

Yes. Save them all into an Excel Sheet. Then open Word and go to Mailings >> Start Mail Merge. (This is Word 2007.) - JaxSean Jul 19, 14:20
We did something similar with our invites too.......... - Walt_Disney Jul 19, 14:19
one of the few features i hate in open office actually. - TFox Jul 19, 14:17
the instructions within Word have worked perfectly for me in the past. (haven't had a need in 2007, though.) -- nm - b. Jul 19, 14:15 8
- I just wasn't sure if it was possible. - kelly Jul 19, 14:19 6
  - I wasn't poking at you at all. it's just such a rare thing for instructions to work perfectly, I had to give props! - b. Jul 19, 14:21 5
    - My problem with labels is that I need only 80 or so of both return labels and address labels, but they seem to be sold in packs of 300/700/ - kelly Jul 19, 14:25 3
      - what size do you need? avery sells smallish packs of some popular sizes now. they're not full-size sheets, but they work fine in printers. -- nm - b. Jul 19, 14:27 1
        
        smallish and not-so-smallish. :) - kelly Jul 19, 14:40
      - put the extra stickers on your hat so you can be hood as shit. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 14:27
    - i try and do a good job. i really try! -- nm - clippy Jul 19, 14:22
- *sobs* come back to me, b.! -- nm - clippy Jul 19, 14:16
thanks to you both. - kelly Jul 19, 14:14
sure. create an envelope, insert merge fields for your address elements, link to your database, and merge -- nm - chuckles Jul 19, 14:10
