How do I do a mail merge using Excel only? I am an absolute beginner at
Excel. My issue is that I need to make a chart that is specific to each each
entry to merge into the document and can't figure it out in Word. It has been
suggested that using Excel to do the entire thing would be easiest. Where can
I find step-bystep directions on how to do this? Thank you.

Hi ....,
MS Word has Mail Merge, Excel does not.
Mail Merge can use Access or Excel as the data base to
feed it data. You can read more about Mail Merge at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm

If you are printing labels, Word has templates for labels,
Excel does not.

If you look at the Related area at the bottom of the above
page you will find an example of Excel only "Elephants R Us"
by John Walkenbach.

If you just want to generate Email you can do fine with Excel
alone. What exactly do you want to do?
