Calling all Microsoft Word Experts

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

I’m in serious need of a Microsoft Word expert! I have a project at work, and I have to make mailing labels. Easy enough to do in Word, but I have all of this information already in a spreadsheet! I have figured out how to merge this information to a label sheet *IF* I were using a traditional mailing address format. I, however, am using simply first name, last name, and a mail code. I can get the labels to pull the name, but not the mail code. I will type out all the labels if I have to, but something tells me that someone, somewhere knows how this can be done. If you need more information to help, please let me know, and I’ll explain more.
I really don’t want to have to type out the labels because Word doesn’t seem to be capable of reorganizing the labels (say, if I need to add 3 or 4 employees to the list) at a later date and time. You either add them at the end, or you start over to have your order right. Boo… am I making this too difficult? It’s possible… Word and I have arguments sometimes.

How Cool Are You?

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

I’ve been doing my own little form of market research the last couple of days, and that’s the question I’ve been asking. Or, how hot are you? There was a blockage in the system (I won’t pretend to know *which* system) that was causing it to be very, very hot in the area where my desk is. There was literally NO air moving. Since I’ve been sick this week, the warmth/mugginess was making feel very nauseous! Of course, those on the other side of the blockage had no control over their A/C either, and they were FREEZING. They would come in here and comment on the warm air and I had to threaten them not to tell me that it felt good in here! Luckily, it’s a more comfortable temperature in here today. I’m feeling much better than I had been, except for the nagging cough, but I couldn’t have handled another too warm day!
