Subject: [mso] Printing labels


Everyone waits for the last minute & this is no exception.  A group that
I do volunteer help for cannot figure out how to do labeling when the
list is in Excel.  I remembered it being really easy so I tried to see
if I could do it.  I reach a certain point & keep getting this error
"word could not re-establish a DDE connection to excel to complete the
current task".

This is what I did to get this error:
open new word document > tools > mail merge > create > mailing labels >
new document type > get data > open data source > desk top (list in
folder on desktop) > file of type...all > clicked on the list.  That's
it, I can't get past that error message.

Please help..label badly needed.

Thanks,
Jan
