I assume your names and addresses are in excel? Are you using office 2003 or 2007 (or some other version)? I think that this gives a pretty good overview for 2007: http://helpdesk.ua.edu/training/word/merg07.html
I'm using an older version, FI has 2007. Currently my addresses are in a excel csv file (so I can load them into the RSVP tool in weddingwire).
If you go to Tools --> Letters and Mailings --> Mail Merge a little wizard will come up. In the first step, you'll select "envelopes." In the second step, you'll select your recipients from an existing list (then search for your excel file). When you select your excel file, make sure that you identify the contents of each column (name, address, etc.). You will then add an "address block" to the first record and copy the formatting of that to all of the other records.
It is probably easiest if you just give it a go and let us know if you have questions!

Hi Bees!
I've searched the archives, but thought one of you might be able to direct me to a tutorial or walk me through faster than I could find a tutorial.
FI and I are going to print our addresses directly on our envelopes and we have no idea how to mail merge. Can anyone help?
Thanks Hive!
