Default How do I transfer contacts to Word for mailing list?

I too am having trouble with making mailing labels from my Outlook contacts.
I first opened Outlook --- selected Contacts --- Tools --- MailMerge ---
Mailing Labels --- Selected which fields I wanted to populate on Mail Merge
Contacts clicked OK --- Word automatically opens & a message appears Outlook
has created a MailMerge document and prepared your contact data for you. In
order to complete the setup for Mailing Labels you have tp press the "Setup"
button in section 1 of the MailMerge helper dialog. I then clicked OK then
Setup chose the printer type and Label Product Number and clicked OK the
contacts were not formatted for the labels. The addresses for the contacts
were either run together in Word Office Mail Merge (OMM) or Word will display
the Mailing Label Template with no contact addresses populated only the words
Next Record in each label area. I am desperate for help please explain
things in simplified language as I am technology speak challenged. Thank you
for your help.

You failed to post your versions. After you choose your label type, are you
then dismissing the merge helper and returning to the Mail Merge Toolbar to
complete the merge? You must. Are you remembering to use the "Propagate
labels" step? You must.

I am using both Outlook and Word 2003. The merge helper automatically closes
I have not tried the Merge Mail Toolbar as I always have trouble finding it.
I will give it a try and hopefully I'll be able to propagate the labels. I'll
let you know. Again thanks.

Aha. You'll find the Propagate labels button on that Toolbar. Here's more
