Mail merge in Word for Mac

I am trying to create a mail merge of labels from a specific contact list.  To create the labels I am using Word for Apple.  I can get as far as the merge section but instead of the various names and addresses on one page (divided in the specific label sections) I get one name and address on each single page.  Essentially what I am trying to do is put all these contacts on address labels which I can then peel off and use them to address my Christmas cards.  Can anyone give me directions?
Thanks!

Make a document with a Page Break after each row of labels.
Or if my memory serves me a Section Break might also work.

  • HT1338 Mail Merge for Microsoft Word for Mac 2011

    I am trying to do a mail merge on my Macbook, using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011. I get as far as choosing the data source, however, a pop-up appears saying, "Word was unable to open data source." I cannot get past this point. Help!!

    Seeing as how Word is a Microsoft product, you might have a better chance of an answer on the Microsoft forum.

  • How can I send emails to a list of email addresses using mail merge  feature in Microsoft Word for Mac? It would work with the power pc but not with macbook Air

    I want to send an email and personalize it to several contacts. I could always do it with my old Power PC using Microsoft Office Word for Mac but cannot access my emailoption when I use the Macbook Air. Anyone have a solution??

    No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
    HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
    their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
    However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
    already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
    prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

    A link to Mac OS X Support's List Printer & Scanner software (HP+ Other)
    •OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
    {According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
    but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
    sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
    •HP Support Forum - Home:

    You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
    PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
    Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
    Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
    but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

  • Mail / pages / numbers quit unexpectedly while using the BJPDELocalizedString2 plugin  in Word for mac a error mesage comes up when trying to print "Error, no pages found/file name"

    Mail will not print, pages will not print . . . pages / mail quits unexpectedly while using the BJPDELocalizedString2 plugin.  Tryed in Word for Mac. . .Error message; no pages found / filename This all happened when I unstalled brother P-touch.

    Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

  • Copy and paste text from Word for Mac to Mail exasperating!

    I'm so exasperated!! I would be grateful for some help.  I have a carefully worded template letter in Word for Mac.  I copied and pasted it into Mail and loads of extra lines are put in that I cannot delete! So I painstakingly copy and paste each line.  I still have to faff about deleting extra lines that magically appear, then press shift+enter to go to next line without having a line space.  It has messed up font size as well.  Surely it should be straightforward to copy and paste simple text from one program to another!  Is there something I should know or do I just have to type everything out afresh each time - ridiculous in this so called easy technology that saves work ha ha. 

    The supported elements are defined in the XFA spec

  • I can't get information from my Word for Mac to past to Apple Mail

    I have the current version of Word for Mac and the current Apple email.  When I cut and paste from Word (it seems to be this way with Powerpoint as well), I cannot get the copied (or cut) information to paste to the email field. 
    Any thought?

    Word uses its own clipboard and when you switch from Word to another program Word should place its contents into the system clipboard but sometimes does not. I've found that one of two things will fix the problem (until the next time it happens). 1) recopy the text in Word, and 2) quit Word then restart it and recopy the text.

  • Access 2013 crashes after mail merge in Word 2013

    We have several Word templates that query an Access database to populate themselves. After the mail merge is complete, when we close Word then Access immediately crashes every time. This started after upgrading from Office 2003 to 2013. We tried updating
    the Word Doc to 2013 but then it would not connect to the data source at all. Last, we also tried to Compact and Repair the database with no luck.
    We searched for an Access Hot Fix but could not find anything that matches our issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Use a table or query as the data source
    Open the source database, and in the Navigation Pane, select the table or query that you want use as the mail merge data source.
    On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click
    More , and then click Merge it with Microsoft Office Word .
    The Microsoft Word Mail Merge Wizard starts.
    Select whether you want to create the link in an existing document or in a new document, and then click
    OK.
    If you chose to link to an existing document, in the Select Microsoft Word Document dialog box, locate and select the file, and then click
    Open.
    Word starts. Depending on your choice, Word opens either the document you specified or a new document.
    In the Mail Merge pane, under Select document type, click
    Letters and then click Next: Starting document to continue to step 2.
    In step 2, click Next: Select recipients.
    In step 3, you create the link between the data source in Access and the Word document. Because you started the wizard from Access, this link is created automatically. Under
    Select recipients, note that Use an existing list is selected, and the name of your data source is displayed under
    Use an existing list.
    Click Edit recipient list if you want to customize the contents of the table or query.
    You can filter, sort, and validate the data. Click OK to continue.
    Click Next: Write your letter to continue. Follow the remaining instructions in the
    Mail Merge pane, and in step 5, click Next: Complete the merge.
    Other ways to use a table or query as the data source
    You can specify a table or query as a data source in additional ways. For example, you can export the table or query from Access to an ODBC database, a Microsoft Office Excel 2013 file, a text file, or any other file format that is compatible with Word,
    and then link to the resulting file by using the Word Mail Merge Wizard.
    If you have not already exported the table or query , do so. In Access, in the Navigation Pane, select the table or query that you want to use, and on the
    External Data tab, in the Export group, click the format you want to export to, and then follow the instructions.
    In Word, if the Mail Merge pane is not displayed, on the
    Mailings tab, in the Start Mail Merge group, click the arrow under
    Start Mail Merge, and then click Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard. The
    Mail Merge pane appears.
    In step 3 of the Mail Merge pane, under Use an existing list, click
    Browse or Edit recipient list.
    In the Select Data Source dialog box, specify the data file that you created in Access, and then click
    Open.
    Follow the instructions in any dialog boxes that follow. In the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, review and customize the contents of the file. You can filter, sort, and validate the contents before you continue.
    Click OK, and then click Next: Write your letter in the
    Mail Merge pane. For more instructions on customizing your mail merge, see Word Help.

  • Word for Mac Calendar

    Whenever I open the banner calendar in Word for Mac, I see nothing but gibberish that looks like merge coding. It appears only on my user account and not my wife's. I've tried to identify differences in preferences, but can't find any. Below is a screenshot.

  • Opening Word for Mac on a PC

    I use Word for Mac 2008 on my iMac and MacBook because I need to send files to PC users, but many recipients can't open the files. I can't help wondering what 'compatability mode' is about if the files can't be opened by different computers without the users downloading additional software (which business users would be unlikely to welcome). I have also tried saving files in .docx and .dot formats, but the result is the same.
    I realise that this might not be a problem for the present forum, but can anyone suggest a decent alternative informational source? I've tried Mactopia and can't find anything that really covers this, besides which answers, if any, are slow in coming.

    Thanks for all the input and advice.
    In answer to rkaufmann87, I meant .doc – careless of me.
    Carolyn Samit asks if I click ‘Attach’ in Mac Mail. Well, Carolyn, this is going to amaze you. It certainly amazes me, because in all the years that I’ve used Mac Mail it has never occurred to me to click ‘Attach’. I drag my files into the body on an email. That could be my problem, so thanks for that. From now on I will ‘Attach, Attach, Attach’. Please imagine me banging my very thick head on my desk as I write this!
    Steve M mentions using a previous version of Word. Good point. I never had any trouble with previous versions – even dragging 50,000 word files into the emails. As for ‘compatibility mode’ – the phrase automatically follows every Word file I create. I find it rather irritating and have tried to find ways to eliminate it, but it persists.

  • Mail merge in word using 10g

    hi !
    does anyone know how to use mail merge in word in web environment ? I did it using the 9i but i'm not able to do it with 10g...
    Thank you..

    Well, it looks like I have found another "work around", this time to solve the email account problem (I was also able to solve the attachment problem in another thread).  To use a different email account than the main one, create a new profile
    (using the preferred email address)from Control Panel, Mail, then choose the selection to prompt for profile.  Close Outlook and reopen, when it asks which profile, choose the preferred one, then click on the Send/Receive tab and choose "Work Offline".
    Next, import the email list into contacts, and do the mail merge.  For me, I also needed to include an attachment, so I used the Outlook Mail Merge Attachment (http://omma.sourceforge.net/)
    tool, and it edits all the email in the outbox to attach the item desired.  Once done, click on Send/Receive again and choose "Work Online".  Now click the Send/Receive All Folders button and you're done.
    This was a huge undertaking for me, and I have been researching this for TWO days.  Nobody was able to offer any suggestions from any of the forums I went to, so perhaps these solutions should be disseminated through the forums for others to benefit.

  • I'm using Word for Mac. Though there are various instructions on the Internet for modifying the templates, none make sense to me. They instruct to do something I can't follow. I change a template but can't save it to the template folder.

    What the ****.
    OK, I try to change a template using Word for Mac version 14.3.4 2011 edition.
    I make a change to the template but am unable to save the darned thing to the template folder; it asks for a file name like it's a new document. I want to change the blasted template but if I can't save it as a modified template, I've accomplished nothing.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks

    Hello.

    As time goes by (months or years), keep your eyes on how long Microsoft continues to support Office 2011 for Mac.  Eventually you should consider Office 365 or Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
