Default Merging Excel with Excel - need more info

Janet

Excel does not have any built-in provision for mail merging.

Most all use Word for the mailmerge and Excel as the the data source.

For help on Word mail merge using Excel as the data source.

There is an alternative on John Walkenbach's site, where he does a mailmerge
directly in Excel.

One name in one cell. One name per registration form. I need one
registration form per person. I have 300 names. The registration form is
created in Excel. The Data/Names is also created in Excel. I know how to
merge a Word document with different names and Insert Next Record, so I can
have 300 pages of the same letter with different peoples names on each
letter. This is the same concept. Only I am starting out with an Excel
Main/Shell document. I don't know how to get the Merge Codes into my
Registration Form.

Still too confusing for me.

Copied and pasted each name from where and into which cell?

Again, do you want 300 names in one cell or what?

I have already copied and pasted each name into one cell. Printed the form
and then pasted the next name into the cell. Printed. etc. I just thought
there would be an easier way with merging. I am done with that project but I
might have more in the future.

You want 300 names from 300 single cells merged into 300 names in one cell?

Do you want a delimiter between each name in the cell?

Excel also.
