cannot mail merge labels

[sdelaunay]

I have set up an excel list and named it, in the letters and envelopes mail
merge process, after seclecting all of the recipients and clicking ok , I get
a page of lables that say <Next record>. My names and addresses do not
display. I have spent many hours researching and have followed instructions
to a T in the Office Online Training and assistance. I am using an Avery
8662 address label template.

if anyone has encountered this situation, please adivse.
Thankyou!

You may have skipped returning to Step 1 of the mail merge wizard to set up
your labels, this gives you a sample label where you can add your field
codes. You can still add the field codes to the page that shows the Next
Record fields using the selector on the Mail Merge toolbar but it's a lot
more laborious than getting the wizard to do it for you. When using the
wizard for labels you normally go:

Step 1 - Select labels
Step 2 - Select data source
Step 1 - Setup labels
Step 3 - Merge
