Did you start the mail merge from Outlook, after selected the contacts you want to merge? It sounds like you probably didn't. That's a critical part of the process.

Did this but still no good result. After selecting Mail Merge from Tools, my
Type of Document is LABELS. After choosing 5160 for Type, I go to Select
Recipients. But when I leave 'Use an Existing List' as in the example you
referred me to, my version goes to two choices: Connect to New Data Source
and New SQL Server Connection. I'm still a heck of a long way off from doing
Labels using only a Category sort. Please help / direct me to a more
relevant site. Many thanks.

Help! I've spent several hours and now so has one of my guru friends
trying
to do a Mail Merge for Labels using a Category (Holiday Cards). How is
this
done from Outlook? We were able to do Customized View and get only the
labels we wanted, but never able to get these labels over to the Main
Doc/Labels. Made several vain attempts. Is there a bug in Outlook for
doing this?
We're running current versions (Outlook & Word 2003)and supposedly have
all
the latest updates.
Hello,
I don't have an answer but my guess is that someone in the Word.mailmerge
newsgroup probably will.
