Ah! The host name. Needed when sharing files with other pcs.

In my case (and very oddly, I think) I need it to prepare a list for printing sheets of address lables. I am using Word in Windows 7. I have prepared the list in Excel but the system won't let me get on with merging them etc. unless I give the server's name. The Help facility does not help (does it ever?).

Thank you, Clk Sec and John H. I can't get any further with the URLs you quote than I had. I made a mailing list in Excel and then prepared a Word document for the mailmerge. I got as far as Use Existing List and was referred to Select Data Sources dialogue box which did not in fact appear. I selected my worksheet from the lefthand side of the box that did appear and a represenation of the label sheets appeared but there were no details in them except for <>. This seemed an invitation to type each lable in separately but as there are 91 addressees I would be grateful for any leads as to how to get the worksheet details into the boxes direct.

There was no problem before, when I had Windows XP, but Windows 7 doesn't respond.
