I appreciate having your help -- and John's. Being a novice at using Excel,
I'm beginning to think that using Access might be a better bet for me.

Happy new year!

Mandy, Here's a way from John Walkenbach just using excel, although I think
using word to do the merge would be better

I have maintained my greeting card mailing list for years in a
non-Microsoft
program. After I changed my OS to Windows XP, the mailing program
wouldn't
work.

I recently managed to pull the name and address data into Excel, but can't
figure out how to create mailing labels from the data. Is there a way to
create mailing labels in Excel without having to merge the data with Word
or
another program?

Thanks very much for pointing me in a direction.
