When doing a mail merge and I go to Edit Recipient List, the columns that
appear are not in the same order as my Excel worksheet. On my excel worksheet
the first column is a €œdate€� column (00/00/2009) but this appears on the far
right column of the recipient list. I can drag the date column to the left
but I am curious as to why it appears this way as I need this date column in
the first position to select my recipients. Second question on the recipient
list is is there a way to select (check) a group of recipients (rows) without
having to individually check each box? I tried CTRL Shift at each €˜end but
this doesnt work. Finally, why, after I have selected my Address Block and
Updated my labels, is the first label on the sheet the last one from my list?
I must manually click back to the beginning of my recipient list to the first
label I want. I never recall having these issues with earlier versions of
Excel.

Hi,

You might get more useful responses from the Word Newsgroup, they have a
group devoted to mail merge.
