I need help!!

IS there any way possible to export data from Microsoft excel spreadsheet and import it into Microsoft Words' mail merge program. I need to send out letters and have 265 names and addresses. I do not want to have to re-type all of that into the mail merge program. Is this at all possible to do? :confused:

A Quick check of the help file included with my Word 2003 tells me that you can use data from an excel workbook(worksheet) to fill in mail merge fields. I would suggest you click the help menu at the top and search for "Data sources you can use for a mail merge" should get you going down the right path! Good luck.

Did you have any success in using the mail merge feature?

If not, I might be able to create directions for you with screen shots.

Please provide the version of MS Office. I will also need to know if you're attempting to merge customer information into a letter that has been created or if you're attempting to create labels or both.
