Excel mail merge

how do i print envelopes using an existing excel spreadsheet?

I would consult Excel's built in Help files for directions, accessible from the Help menu, or since Excel is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Office:Mac products, found at: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/

  • When I mail merge a message that incudes a table with an excel spreadsheet, the table disappears and the data appears in list form

    I've tried both creating the table using Thunderbird, as well as creating the table in Word first and the problem is the same. I've reinstalled and updated both the mail merge add on and Thunderbird.

    If you do not need all the excel specific items you can just write it to a spreadsheet using the write to spreadsheet file vi's.
    If you want to go the excel route you will have to use active x. you can see a lot of examples on the excel board under the breakpoint forum. please post a sample of how you want your data to look and I can maybe help explain what options you have. and also oyu do not necesarily need the report generation toolkit.

  • Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet

    How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
    Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
    From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
    Am I simply overlooking something?
    Thanks.

    oracle reports does not provide this capability. however, the e-business suite provides a tool that might do, what you are looking for ...

  • Word Mail Merge does not accurately import a Text field in Excel with more than 15 numbers

    Hi, I've looked through some of the discussions regarding importing numbers from excel into word mail merge. I'm having a problem. In Excel I have a column that includes numbers with more than 15 digits. In Excel, I have made this column a text format, so
    now in Excel those long numbers show up correctly. However, when doing a mail merge in Word, again the numbers past 14 digits change to zeros. I've read many help articles about this but am still not finding a solution. I even tried going the DDE route and
    that didn't do it either. I checked out this answer: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f57/mail-merge-data-corruption-429351.html which was the most helpful, but again, DDE seemed to work for this person but not for me. I hope someone can offer a solution.
    I was hoping that I could do a picture switch, but that does not seem to be an option for this particular problem. I don't know why importing it in DDE format did not solve the problem. Thanks for any help!

    Wow! After all my searching and just after posting this I figured out the solution! I originally had { MERGEFIELD Field_Name \# # } But then I just removed everything after the field name, as is normal for any other text field, so not indicating it was
    a number, and now it shows up correctly even if the number (from a Text formatted field in Excel) is longer than 15 digits. Hope this helps anyone else who has a problem. I did not use DDE to solve this problem.

  • Mail Merging from Excel using iCloud?

    I have a large list of emails on an excel sheet that i need to email to everybody as individuals, how can I mail merge them using icloud?

    Hi,
    Please read the kb 2181579 again, we can find the following information:
    The functionality is available only when the Exchange account is set to
    Use Cached Exchange Mode. The DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value does not affect an Exchange account that is configured in Online mode.
    When you said "add the box as a second Exchange account", did you mean "additional Mailbox"?
    Go to File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Double click on your account name -> More Settings -> Advanced -> Make sure "Use Cached Exchange Mode" and "Download shared folders" have both been ticked -> OK.
    Kindly check the result.
    Thanks,

  • Mail merge from Word to Excel locks the excel document

    Previously, a friend of mine would run his business like this:
    Open a client database (excel file), open N number of word docs that were mail merge docs to the excel file.  He could then make changes to the excel file and see those changes reflected in real time in the opened word mail merge documents.  He
    could also save the excel document while the word docs were open without problem.
    Now, changes to excel are not shown in word, and saving the excel doc while the word mail merge documents are open produces a sharing violation (winword has a handle on the excel file).
    I've reproduced his problems.  We are both using Office 2010, and Windows 7.
    I've tested turning off indexing on the files, and also tried disabling my anti virus. 
    If I save the excel file as a 97-2003 file (.xls), then I don't have most of these issues.
    Is there anyway to avoid the file lock when using the excel document as a 2010 xlsx?  Why would it work fine if I connect to an old document, but not work with the 2010 version?

    I have a similar problem, which might be related. I use an Excel 2010 spreadsheet (.xlsx) as a data source to mail merge with document templates (.dotx) in Word 2010. I can save changes to the Excel spreadsheet without any problems until open a Word template
    and try to use the Excel spreadsheet as the data source (Mailings -> Select Recipients -> Using Existing List). Two problems occur when I run that merge. First, any recent changes to the spreadsheet don't appear in the document templates. Second, Excel
    throws error messages when I try to save the spreadsheet. Specifically:
    1. Excel tells me that "Your changes could not be saved to '[FILENAME].xlsx' because of a sharing violation. Try saving to a different file."
    2. When I click OK, it tries to save the spreadsheet to a randomly-named file without an extension, and tells me "The file you are trying to open, '53F11100' (or some other seemingly-random file name) is in a different format than specified by the file extension.
    Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" Excel gives me a yes/no option, either requires me to resave the file under a different name.
    At this point, I can only save the spreadsheet under a different file name unless I close out of MS Office 2010 entirely, make a duplicate of the spreadsheet using Windows, and begin using the new copy instead of the old. I'm using Windows Vista SP2, and don't
    recall any specific action on my part prompting this change, but it began happening in the last few weeks. Any guidance would be a huge help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Prescott

  • I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

    I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

    Thanks for your response. I do believe I have the information needed for each form on a separate line in Excel. There is a first name, middle name, last name, city, and zip column. And field is entered on a different line for all the information. I'm really stuck.

  • When I do a mail merge using an excel document it transfers correctly except the Zip Code part

    I have a Word Document that I use to send out advertising letters in the mail. I get the information from an excel spreadsheet that i put together and it usually works out fine but recently after i have done the mail merge the Zip Code is not coming out.
    It only shows as a zero "0". 
    I have maybe around 200 letters that i send out every week and after like the 1st 10 pages the merge doesn't work on the Zip Code.
    Could you please let me know what I can do to fix it?
    Both the Word and Excel Versions are 2007
    Thanks!
    Cynthia.

    One thing I have done before when getting similar issues is changing the "ZipCode" field to a text field instead of a
    number field. This is done in the field properties.

  • AppleScript for mail merge with Excel data?

    Is there any approach for an AppleScript that lets you use Excel data as source for some kind of mail merge operations? If not, would anyone here be interested if someone (I?) would take a closer look at some kind of a (AppleScript Studio) solution for this?

    I'm not sure I get the question.
    If it is "could you use AppleScript to create mail merge for Pages with Excel?", the answer is, Yes. Both Pages and Excel are scriptable.
    If the question is "has anyone done it yet?", I don't know, but it could be a fun exercise.
    If the question is "would there be a market, if someone (you?) wrote and released such a script?", I cannot tell, but personally I would probably write a hack that worked only for my own needs - if I had them. The overhead with usability, testing, different address formats, languages, different Excel sheet formats, and so on, makes me guess that the investment wouldn't pay off for a generic solution. Especially considering both Pages and MS Office already have their own mail merge functions.

  • Mail merge from excel to word

    I think I am doing something incorrectly with mail merge. I wonder if anybody has tips or ideas to help me out.
    thanks, gena

    You will probably do better by asking on the Microsoft Word forum:

    Don't forget to mention what version you are using.

  • "Word was unable to open the data source" error message in mail merge

    I am trying to do a mail merge in Word 2008 for Mac and receive this message when I try to open the Excel file for the data.  Can someone please help?  I tried changing the filename to .xls (originally .xlsx) but it didn't work.

    As far as I know, you cannot merge from a  .xlsx data source in Mac Word 2008, and even though there is a KnowledgeBase article at  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2604725 that suggests
    that all you have to do is "rename" to a .xls, I think what you actually have to do is open the .xlsx in Excel and use Save As to create a .xls.
    Generally speaking, you will be better off researching Mac Word questions in the relevant forum on Microsoft Answers, in this case here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macword
    This particular issue was discussed in this conversation: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macword/cant-open-excel-file-for-mail-merge/90ccfd11-273f-4c2a-aa37-1d859b8e41e2?page=1
    If that does not help, and you cannot find anything else in the Answers group, I suggest that you post a new question in that group, referencing the above conversation and specifying your version of Mac OSX.

  • Email PDF from Mail Merge Problem

    Using a data source of email addresses from Excel 2003 and performing a mail merge in Word 2003 with the Mail Merge to Adobe PDF button, everything worked okay and the emails generated to the outbox in Outlook 2003 with the relevant PDFs attached.  However, once they were mailed the recipients who use Outlook Express had the attachments missing.  I'm using Acrobat 8.1.5
    I've seen previous queries about this and it seems to relate to Outlook using a RTF format.  I set Outlook to default to html and then plain text formats but still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest how I can solve this or if the problem is Outlook related, then another email program that would work without causing this problem (preferable freeware or inexpensive).
    Thanks

    Just an interesting after thought, since you mentioned blocking. Several federal agencies and companies block zip files also. I ran onto a message recently about the university blocking zip files at one time because of a problem. Mail merge files are typically personalized and it would be nice for them to go intact. If they re not personalized, but just being sent in general, then posting the basic file and e-mailing a link might work better. For a lot of things I do, I just use the mail merge that is built into my e-mail client. That creates a mail-merge of messages that are personalized.
    Just thought the blocking comment might be of interest, though I give the same advice. I am not sure how it could be done with zip in a mail merge sense.

  • BP Information in a Mail Merge Spreadsheet Format

    Hi Guys,
    I need to run a report that I can export to excel that will allow me to export BP details (ie name and address) in a format that will allow me to mail merge the addresses into a Word Document for a mailing campaign.
    I have looked through the standard B1 reports/queries and cant find anything there. As I am a little bit dumb regarding the query generator I would be very grateful if anyone has done this previously, if they could post the queries details.
    Many thanks in advance
    Sean Martin

    Hi Sean,
    You can achive it without using query, just follow the following steps.
    Open Business Partenr master screen.
    In find mode put * in code and click on find
    then click on form setting
    Select the fields you want to export to excel
    click ok
    again use find, you will find all the fields in find list, now use export to excel button

  • Error Mail Merge Aborted due to error in creating the Mail Merge DataSource

    Dear All,
    please help me with this problem (Oracle release 12.0.4.)
    1. PROBLEM:
    When attempting to extract data, using Web ADI in HRMS, Word is selected as the viewer, but an Excel spreadsheet is generated rather than a MS Word document containing the data. Also error "Mail Merge Aborted due to error in creating the Mail Merge Data Source." appears on screen.
    We are using MS Office 2003.
    2. PROBLEM:
    Unable to create data source from HR form PAYWSLEE.
    We are using custom integrator. This integrator is attached to form function. Form function is attached to responsibility. We also created the layout.
    The next step would be to create data source from form PAYWSLEE, but we are not able to perform this...
    In release 11i we used this form (PAYWSLEE) to create datasource (for mailmerge), but in R12 this is not working... Something is missing here and I need your help to determine what. I checked the most documents on Oracle Support and didn't find solution for this problem...
    Please advise.
    Kind Regards,
