Mail marge

I need to do a label mail merge using an excel spread sheet, I do not want to use all the fields on this spreadsheet either. Please help!

RE: Mail marge

Hello Anna

Thank you for your question.

You'll need to use the Mail Merge Wizard in Word to create your labels.

You'll need to use the Mailings tab, click the Start Mail Merge button, and select Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.

The first two steps will ask you to select what you'd like to create (labels) and select your starting document and label type.

At step 3, browse to and select the spreadsheet containing your data.

At step 4, select More items. A list of the headings/fields from your spreadsheet should appear and you can select and insert just the ones that are required.

Follow through the remainder of the steps (5 and 6).

Hope this works ok, let me know if you have any problems.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Checking formulas with multiple operators

When dealing with formulas containing more than one operator (+, -, /, *), Excel follow standard BEDMAS order of operation rules. These rules specify the order that calculations will be performed in, regardless of how the formula reads left to right:

B = brackets
E = exponents
D = division
M = multiplication
A = addition
S = subtraction

It should be noted that multiplication and division are considered equal; as are addition and subtraction.

If you would like to check the order in which Excel is performing calculations in a formula, simply click on the cell containing the formula. Then go to Tools - Formula Auditing and select Evaluate Formula.

In the Evaluate Formula dialogue box that appears on your screen, click the Evaluate button to see how Excel calculates the formula result.
