Need help with Microsoft Word

17 years ago

I have Micro. word 2003. I have saved mailing labels to use every year to mail out while adding new ones each year.I use the Avery Product for labels. I want to know is there anyway I can get these names and addresses in alphabetical order, so I don't send out duplicate flyers with these labels? Regards, P.K. in Louisiana

You didnÂt say how many names/addresses and IÂm assuming theyÂre in the form of a word document but if itÂs not too many, I would copy and past them into an Excel worksheet and then sort them alphabetically.

Bestlawn! I could have asked you over on KT! I had two lines; one I managed to delete, but I've fumbled around so much I cannot remember what I did! Yes, I think the enter/return is what seems to trigger it. When I try to select the line, a thin vertical highlight strip appears on the left above, through, and below the line, but it will not delete. I've spent the last 20-30 minutes trying to figure it out, searching "help." But it's no big problem, I can scroll it down to the blank page and not print that page. And now that I know how to draw lines w/o triggering the other line, I'll be ok. I suppose 2007 is ok when one gets used to it, but it sure takes up a lot of time getting to that point. It has a default of 1.5 spacing, which is not that good for me. Thanks...you're the "best!"

I teach in a very large high school. I am not the first to have the computer, and I think someone set the default to do this, but I cannot find a default that would indent like that. Would you happen to know where a default is that would cause something like this to happen? Or even tell me exactly what I do to just make it number the way it should for one paper? I have done it before, but more often than not, I have messed up the entire paper. Those rare times when it puts everything in order, I am not sure what I hit.

Did word come with your computer or did you buy it separately? If it came with the computer you should be able to restore it. If separate have you lost the cd? Your sister may have a different version of word. If you tell us what make of computer and other details someone may be able to help. If all else fails you can go the the free Open Office. The 'writer' portion is compatible with word.

thanks for the replys, I received a reply over at MS, but I think it would take a Chinese to understand the solution. If I copy over to excel,and get them in order how do I get them back on the word program to print the avery labels? Regards, PK in La.

Have a look on the Avery site. They sent me an email advert recently and it referred specifically to free templates / instructions to transfer names and addresses from Excel into Word for mail merge / printing.
