Editing a mail merge label
In an earlier century (a couple back, at least), I created a mail merge program, using an Excel file source, which I have used over the years. The Word label uses IF statements in order to ignore printing certain blank fields.
When I created this label, I remember being able to strike a couple of keys (e.g., Control + something) in order to bring up the formatting on the screen for editing. Now that I am much older and wiser, I am unable to recall the combination of keys that brings up the formatting, or disables seeing the formatting, for that matter. Thanks for any help.

Do you mean ALT+F9?

Sir Mayor --
Am I embarrassed. I did try Control + F9, but didn't even think to use the Alt key instead. Many thanks for your response! P.S. I have not seen Ms. Barnes (Alabama) name of late. Has she retired from the field, do you know? She had assisted me with picture and frame formatting for a book I published about a decade ago. |

We have all been there
I think you mean Suzanne Barnhill. She doesn't contribute to this form. You'll find her here - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...um?tab=Threads

Sorry for the delayed response.
What exactly is the difference between the two forums? Are both Microsoft supported? Gordon |

Neither is Microsoft supported though answers.microsoft.com is Microsoft hosted and employs some folks from the Indian sub-continent to pick up the slack. Both are user peer groups and while you may see the same regular contributors on both (and other) forums, they are not connected.
