Hopefully both of these can be answered very quickly and easily by
someone who is not overlooking whatever I am!

1.  I am doing a mail merge in Word using an excel database.  It is
for address labels, and I am using the mail merge wizard.  Everything
goes fine, except when the merge is complete, it has only done 1 page
of labels.  There are several hundred names in the excell list, so it
should be severl pages of labels.  I'm sure that I am just skipping
one little thing, but I'm not sure what it is.  I am using Word &
Excel 2002.

2.  In Adobe Illustrator- It seems as though a lot of times when I
export and eps file, that it is blank.  What I meanby that is when I
go to use the eps file in a design application, there is a trasparent
box of the appropriate size that gets placed in the document, but no
logo, etc...  Again, I'm sure that I am over looking something silly
and stupid.  I am using Illustrator CS.

Thanks!

For the Illustrator question - EPS is a standard Adobe graphics
format, which stands for Encapsulated Postscript and is basically
nothing more than a text file.  When you output your graphic from
Illustrator, EPS is not a format for viewing on the screen, but rather
a format for good quality output for printing.  In order to view the
graphic you must include another piece to the file called a preview
header.  In Illustrator when you go to save it, you must tell it to
save with a header, typically a TIFF.  If you say none, then you will
not see the graphic when you place it (The box represents the bounding
box of your graphic).  Keep in mind, what you will see on the screen
is not an accurate representation of your graphic, but a
low-resolution version for screen viewing purposes only.

A final recommendation - are you printing to a Postscript printer?  If
not, then you may only actually receive on your printout a copy of the
low-res version of the EPS, because the implication of using an EPS
(remember: Encapsulated POSTSCRIPT) is that your ultimate output
device is postscript compatible.

For your Word question:  I have recently received a similar request
and it was  because the person was using the "Letters and Mailings -
Envelopes and Labels" feature of Word.  Is this true for you?  You
must go through the complete setup of a Merge in Word to do what you
wish, you cannot use the quick and simple Labels Feature.  Check out
this link called "Step by step process for Mail Merge" at Microsoft

Hope it helps...'

Good luck!

Nice job, Christopher. :)

I sometimes come across users having problems such as this with Excel.
The same thing happened to someone at P&G last week.

Troubleshoot:

1) Does it work on another PC? If so, go to
www.theofficeexperts.com/word.htm and do Word Troubleshooting on the
PC. (I'm betting odds that renaming normal.dot will fix it.)

2) Do you get multiple records if you use a new Excel spreadsheet? If
so, copy the data into a new workbook and try again. 99% of corruption
is with the "container". Copying into a new "container" clears the
corruption.

Good luck!
