Printing envelope - 5 line addresses
I've got a Excel macro that is currently doing an adequate job,
but it is pretty simple. It takes a Range F4:F6 and sends it to MS Word pasting it into a new document, then automatically brings up the Print Envelope Dialog with the data populated. I only have to click the Print button. I need to expand the simple 3 line scenerio to as much as 5 lines, but only certain addresses require all 5 lines. How would I begin to allow for this? In Excel or in Word? TIA, Jim |

Printing envelope - 5 line addresses
The usual recommendation for this sort of job is to use Word's mail merge
facility, taking input data from Excel. The usual format of the data in Excel would have the fields for one address in columns across a row, with the next address on the next row. -- David Biddulph "Jim May" wrote in message ...

Thanks David,
Further, I am wanting to "move-up" say my last line if Line 3 and 4 are blank for the record. I'll look over in the Word Newsgroup for more info.

Jim
When doing the mailmerge in Word you will find the option to ignore blank lines in source data. Thus line 5 would "move up" to join lines 1 & 2 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:18:03 -0800, Jim May wrote: Thanks David, Further, I am wanting to "move-up" say my last line if Line 3 and 4 are blank for the record.

Gord -- Is this feature in 2003 (or 2007)?
