I exported entourage files to a txt document. I then opened in Excel and saved as a csv file. When I try to merge for mailing labels I get the error message that a record does not have the same number of fields as the first row. It then says unable to open data source and then quits at the record it said had wrong number of fields. I have deleted that record, but it is always the same error in the same spot no matter what record is there.

I have successfully imported other csv files, but this is the only one from entourage so I don't know if it that is the source of the problem.
Thank you.

Although I have a couple of ideas about what might be causing the problem
there's a much simpler solution than trying to sort them out & correct any
of them: Why not just specify Office Address Book as the record source of
the Recipient's List for the labels in the first place?
