adding to Mail merge doc?

[L.S.]

Office 2k

Have a master contact list in Excel. Created mail merge doc in Word for
labels.
Have added names to the Excel sheet.

Is this possible to add these names to the .doc or will I have to retype
them into mail merge doc.?
If it is possible, how hard vs retyping? I only have ~ 15 names but more
will be added.

Thanks,

In Word you have a Mail Merge Main Document, which is typically a 1-page
label layout, and when you merge you can either merge to the printer or
merge to a new output document.

To include your 15 new addresses in the output it would usually be
simpler to start with your Mail Merge Main Document and re-do the merge
to a new output document.

If you need to use the same label layout again and again, it's best to
save that Mail Merge Main Document so you do not have to redo the label
layout every time you want to merge to labels.
