Can anyone tell me where I can go to get help with a very specific problem using an MS Excel (XP version) address list and MS Word (XP version) as the merge document to create mailing labels? Or maybe someone knows the solution to my problem(s). Here's the deal: I have a list of 1096 names and addresses in Excel. When I merge it into Word to create mailing labels, Word only brings in 974 of them. I have had this happen at school using the XP version on a Windows 98 machine and at home using the XP version on a Windows XP machine. I have no idea why this happens. YET, I can take the same Excel list, bring it up on my Windows 95 machine using Excel 2000 and Word 2000 and print out all 1096 labels with no problem. I print these labels monthly as my contribution to our local Friends of the Public Library organization. Since I am giving my older computer to my daughter, I really need to solve this! A smaller problem is that the zip codes that begin with zero (as in 02420 for a Massachusettes address) lose the leading zero (showing up as 2420) in the XP version. Luckily I only have six such zip codes. I have double-checked that I formatted the cell for zip codes, so that isn't the problem. They keep the leading zero using the 2000 versions. Thank you profusely to anyone who can help or point me to help.
