Ad mail merge address line
In Microsoft Access, you can use the Address
field in the Mail Merge
wizard to create a formatted address line. Here's how:
- Open your Access database and navigate to the table that contains the address information.
- Create a new query or open an existing one that joins the table with the address information to the table that contains the mail merge data.
- In the query design view, add the
Address
field from the table with the address information to the query. - In the
Mail Merge
wizard, select the query as the data source and click "Next". - In the "Select recipients" step, select the field that contains the recipient's name and address.
- In the "Write your letter" step, click on the "Insert Merge Field" button and select the
Address
field from the query. - In the "Format" dropdown menu, select "Address" to format the address line.
The Address
field in the Mail Merge
wizard will automatically format the address line using the following format:
[Recipient's Name] [Street Address] [City, State ZIP Code]
For example, if the recipient's name is "John Doe", the street address is "123 Main St", the city is "Anytown", and the state and ZIP code are "CA 12345", the formatted address line would be:
John Doe 123 Main St Anytown, CA 12345
Note that you can customize the format of the address line by using the "Format" dropdown menu in the Mail Merge
wizard. You can also use other fields from the query to create a more complex address format.
