Hi, Dealing with a social group of say 40 people, I have all their names and addies in an Excel file, with column headings for forename, surname, add1, add 2 etc, but I find it really awkward to prepare labels for a mailshot. The mail merge feature in tools menu is a bit of a pain to navigate with jfw 8.=20 I've got the same address list in Word, with each one separated by a page break, for running envelopes directly through the printer, but it's not ideal, those self seal ones just screw up.... Doing a full mail merged letter isn't actually that difficult but I'm never confident of having the addresses lined up in the window of those types of envelopes, begin the first line of the recipient on line 12 etc? Maybe I just need to buy a better quality printer, but if anyones got any better ways of handling this task I'd be grateful of any tips. Kind regards, Robin Clayden, Edinburgh College of Art, 74 Lauriston Place, EDINBURGH EH3 9DF.
