Mail Merge Screen Shots from December issue of COPE Webzine.

This is not meant to be a step-by-step tutorial. I just thought I'd add some screen captures that might be new to you if you've never filtered your Excel spreadsheet during a mail merge.

If you need detail help with Mail Merge, please refer to your document's Help or my book, Just Show Me Which Button to Click! if you have it.

 

 

STEP 1: Main Document - When you click Create,  you'll choose Mailing Labels.

 

STEP 2: Get Data - You're going to Data Source, which is your Excel spreadsheet with your names and addresses. You'll have to locate your Excel spreadsheet and attach it to your mailing label document.

See screen shot below if you can't find your spreadsheet.

 

 

 

 

 

When you look for your Data Source, make sure you change your Files of type to Excel Worksheet (or All Files). Otherwise it will not display.

 

3: Merge the data with the document - Once you haved your data source, you'll want to click Query Options so you can filter out just the Category for Holiday Cards.

 

See screen shot below.

 

This is how you filter your data. Once you get the hang of this, you'll want to come back to this and learn more.
