excel question

i need to know if i can take a spread sheet that was given to me with name, address, city etc...column a has name, column b the adress etc and somehow change it to print labels

 

You can import the XL data to an Access table and then create a Report to do this.

Personally I'd say using Access for such a task is overkill.

I'd just go via Word, if you go to Tools -> Letters and Mailings -> Mail Merge you should get a Wizard guiding you through creating Address Labels by using an external source, and it should accept just about anything as source including an Excel worksheet.

Please note that the description is based on Word 2003, and it might look slightly different in your version - but Mail Merge has been in Word since at least version 97 so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

 

still need help

Thanks for your efforts but Word did not do it at all

What is this Access I am running Me.

Any other thoughts or ideas.

I guess Excell will not take several columns and print labels?

 

MS Access is a database that is part of Microsoft Office - at least some versions of Office.

Excel can certainly send data to Word and create labels. At least my version can. Try Excel help and search for print labels. One topic you should see is Create a Word mail merge with Excel data.
