Hi there,
I hope someone can help me with the steps to a successful mail merge. 1st I'll tell you where I'm having the problem. I have MS office 2003. I understand until the wizard asks for the address file.

I have a letter already composed and open
I have my addresses in label format in word

When prompted, Select Recipients; I choose => Use an existing list
Then Browse
Opens a new window => Mail Merge Recipients

This is where my addresses are all a mess -

1. there are boxes in between the name and address
2. the first address is in the grey top where the down arrow is
3. the wizard seems to only use the addresses in the first column
4. second column => Auto Merge Field => is blank?
5. I follow the steps after Mail Merge Recipients, but NO merge

I have tried so many times and nothing seems to work.
Do I need to save my names and addresses in a different format?
If so, what format, Excel, notepad? If there is a step by step instructional link, I sure would appreciate your help.

HELP, Please!
