Mail Merge

[carolsue]

I am merging a letter with an excel address list.

It is telling me that the records contain too few data fields

Please tell me what is wrong

Are you using the mailmerge wizard "Address Block" feature. If that's the
case, it could be that it is expecting fields that are not in your Excel
Spreadsheet.

Instead of using that feature, just insert the mergefields for the fields
that you have in the datasource.

I have also had this problem when I converted an Excel file to a CSV file.
When I used the excel file as it was, I did not receive the Too Few Data
Fields.
