Is there a way to alphanumber labels that increment from A to AAAAA in a
merge? I know how to use Graham Mayor's numbering in Excel using numbers,
but is there also a way to do the same thing with letters?

I hope, I hope!

Thanks for all your help in the past!!!!!

I'm not familiar with Graham's approach, but my personal preference is to
insert a SEQ field into the label. This will generate serial numbers for the
mail merge. Then use a format switch to change how the numbers look. For
example:
{ SEQ \* ALPHA } should number: A, B, C... AA, BB, CC... AAA, BBB, CCC
