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.

Mail Merge using HTML Office 2010 Service Pack 2 doesn't send

I have a user who sends out mailings several times a week using a Microsoft Word Mailmerge.
He recently had his physical PC upgraded and we gave him a computer with a fresh install of the same programs he had before.
When the mail merge is accessed everything seems to work fine (selecting the excel list of addresses to send to, specifying the recipient list, and going to send the mail merge we select the e-mail address column as the To list and the format as HTML and
select Send)
Once the send button is pressed it shows the working mouse pointer icon temporarily and then nothing.
I check outlook to see if the E-mails sent and there are none listed.
This same process works on another user's computer just fine and will send out the e-mails.
I have attempted the below troubleshooting steps:
I verified that all updates/service packs are installed.
I verified that the AV is listed as "Valid".
I disabled the AV during a test send and it still did not work.
I verified all the settings on both workstations to see if there are any differences and I was unable to find any.
I rebuilt the Outlook Profile.
I uninstalled and re-installed MS Outlook.
I checked to ensure Outlook was the default e-mail program in Default Programs.
I checked to see that Word is the default HTML program in internet option settings.
I checked to see if there was a 64 bit registry key in place that could cause problems and there has never been any 64 bit MS Office applications installed and so I did not find any.
Plain Text mailmerge works with one caveat.
I get an Outlook pop-up stating "A program is tryign to access e-mail address information stored in outlook. If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is up-to-date. For more information about e-mail safety and how you might
be able to avoid getting this warning click Help" (this pop-up happens for each message that is being sent so a 50 person mailmerge asks 50 times)
And it shows a box where I can select Allow access for a specific time frame (10 minutes or less) and then 3 buttins "Allow" "Deny" and "Help"
Clicking help bring me to MS Office help menu that didn't explain anything close to the problem I was having and did not "HELP"
This is beginning to frustrate the user and I am running out of ideas to fix the problem. My next step was going to be attempt to re-install the OS at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

The Mail Merge was created using a different computer/user.
I have not attempted to create another mail merge from his account; I will try this and get back.
I have compared the options/settings from that and another user as I stated above.
Which registry keys would I import? I don't want to go importing keys and have it break something else.
They are not any add-ins on either PC that are different from each other; and as I stated above I have tried starting it in safe mode.
Anti-Virus is up to date; Also I even disabled the Anti-Virus to see if that changed anything, and it did not.
I will try creating a new mail-merge to see if somehow it creates a settings somewhere that will allow it.

Mail merge and print one document at a time?

Hi all. I'm an Apple revert. I'm currently using the i7 iMac. Previous Apple computer was a //e.
I print an 8 or 12 page newsletter for my work. I want my printer/copier to fold and staple each document individually. Pages seems to send all documents to the printer in one huge file. How do I mail merge and print one document at a time?

My problem is after updating to Yosemite does my mail client any longer. I can not even open the mail, and when I "forced closes" mail and try to open it again to go in the entered settings running the colored wheels around and allows me only to forcing close again? does anyone have a solution to the above problem?

You mean the default OS X mail app? Try reinstalling OS X Yosemite if that's the case.
If you are referring to 3rd party mail applications, that's a compatibility issue. Some apps don't work in the new operating system. You have to wait until the developer updates the app, or you have to revert back to Mavericks to continue using it.

Can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit numbers without having to dial the area code 00357 but also being able to dial 0030xxxxxxxxxx numbers?

If you include a country number, you have to drop the initial 0 from the area code. eg +31 10 2345 6789 instead of +31 (0)10 2345 6789

Mail Merge using data from Numbers for iPad

Here is my situation:
I use Numbers for iPad to collect data on-site when I'm doing estimates. I then download the data from iCloud to Numbers on my laptop and complete the estimates. I would then like to be able to merge the data into a proposal template I've created in Pages.
The issue seems to be that Numbers for iPad removes header rows but Pages won't accept a Numbers document as a merge source unless it has header rows.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?

I was using Excel and Word for my small business. Then in 2007 I upgraded the whole office to Apple, began using Numbers for basic invoicing. Back then, the solution I found was to use CSV export to InDesign. A few days back I downloaded the 09 tryout and thought using mail merge would be easy.
I get the false populating too: I assume it comes from empty records, as they do not overwrite field names. Somehow I don't think I'm going to go through 2 years of accounting records to reformat my spreadsheet, just so Pages can correctly work with data that is in fact correctly formatted.
Also, there must be an option with the mail merge feature to choose which records I want to merge?!? The current solution (duplicating and erasing unwanted ones) is ridiculous, hiding unwanted rows in Numbers also doesn't work.
As most of the new features in iWork 09 are cosmetic, this one would have been a reason to use iWork as a real office suite. Pity - not really worth the update.

When sending an e-mail I used to just click on contacts then click on the name or group I wanted to send the e-mail to and move it to the "To" area of the e-mail. All of a sudden I now get a full screen in "contacts" and can no longer move a name .

MacBookPro 15
OS - Yosemite
Problem area - "Contacts"
Problem - when sending an e-mail in "Mail" I used to open contacts to get an address. A small window opened, I clicked on addressee and moved the addressee name to the e-mail. Can no longer do this because I now get a full screen in Contact.
Question - how do I get back to the small window in Contact?

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

Email Mail Merge using mail

I run a small business and have 3,000 clients on my email database and i am having issues in sending large mail shots using mail. Before i changed to a mac i used to be able to use an excel database with outlook which i could send a mass email mail shot with a few clicks and it send each client an individual email.
I can't seem to get this to work using mail so i have to send 1 email with 20 or so applicants per email(as my broadband supplier limits me to 25 applicants per email) which is very time consuming and also not as profesional.
Is there a way round this at all or a program which i can run with mail?
Thanks in advance
Andy

I've been wrestling with the same problem. I googled a number of related keywords, and found several programs that will handle "mail-merge" tasks. I downloaded two demos. The first is SerialMailer, and it can be found at http://www.falkon-ware.com/SerialMailer/ I gave it one trial and it appears easy to use and adequate to the limited tasks for which I need it. You can import e-mail addresses from Apple's Address Book, or a number of other formatted files. It costs $29.95. The other one I have only take a glance at. It is Max Bulk Mailer, and can be found at http://www.maxprog.com/site/software/internet-marketing/mass-bulk-emailersheetus.php
It looks to be more flexible and powerful and a bit more polished that SearialMailer, but it costs $49.90 for the standard version and $59.90 for the Pro version. The cheaper program looked like all I needed so I didn't test the more expensive one any further. My guess is that one of these (or another you might find with a google search) will take care of your mail merge needs quite handily, and for not much money.
