I read this before I sent the original post[data merge manager]...I want to
create a number of labels (not all of them, inclusive) from my address book
entries. I'm going on a trip and wanted to print about 30 specific and
different labels to address post cards. I found the instructions in Word
and the Merge Manager somewhat ambiguous...and tried to use it, but printed
a page of labels with the same address. Sorry to be so thick...I guess I
need more explicit direction.

You'll need a feature called Data Merge Manager. In Word's Help, search for
"create labels by using the data merge manager", and you'll get a
step-by-step tutorial on how to do this. If anything's unclear, post back.

The 'query options' was the rate limiting step...thanks/halYou accidentally sent your reply to my email account, so I'll paste it in
here. Anyway, here's a few tips: use the instructions from Word Help, as I
told you. You'll end up with a page that presumably contains lots of table
cells with entries that look like "«First_Name» «Last_Name»
«Address»". You've selected the Office Address Book as your data source, and
since you only want to print a few specific addresses, you'll have to use
query options. On the Data Merge palette, expand the Merge pane, if it isn't
already. Click on Query Options, and in that new dialogue, use the dropdown
list at the very top to list mail merge recipients by "complete record".
You'll now see your entire address book, with checkboxes in front of each
contact. Since you only want to print ~30, you'd better click on Clear All
in the lower left corner and then individually select the contacts you need.
If you now click on OK and then print the document, you should theoretically
get what you want. If that's not the case, post back. And make sure you hit
"reply to newsgroup" if you do so.

Query was the rate limiting step...it printed as I wanted but with the
following error. I set up my Avery 8161 labels as follows:
First name>>Last name
Address>>Street
City>>State>>Zip
Country
It printed as follows:
First name>>Last name
Address>>Street
City>>State>>Zip
Country>>address>>street
City>>State>>Zip
Now my data base Entourage Address book lists two addresses, home and
business, and the merge manager didn't give me the option of which to
choose. I think it chose the default address and then printed it double in
the manner described above. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hal

You were right...before I received this, I substituted only 'address'Hi Hal,
I should specify that I'm not really an expert on data merging, as I've
never had to use this feature. The things I've been telling you are what
I've come across by experimenting a bit with Word, so I can't tell you how
you can select anything other than the default address from the Office
Address Book.
Now, for your other question: the field "Address" covers the entire address,
including street, city, state, zip and country. Try using only the "Address"
field and ignore all the other, more specific labels, and see if the result
is closer to want you'd want it to be.
As I've just said, I don't know if it's possible to select a non-default
address from the Office Address Book, so maybe someone else will be able to
help you out on this problem.
