Step 3: Insert address block
This is the most complex step in the wizard. In this step you will do
three things:
1) Tell the wizard which data source to use. The data source must be
an existing file; in this example it is the “Points” spreadsheet
created earlier.
2) Select the address block to use in the document. This means
choosing which fields appear (for example, whether the country is
included) and how they look.
3) Make sure that the fields all match correctly. This is very
important. For example, the wizard has a field called <Last
Name>. If your spreadsheet has a column called “Surname”, you
need to tell the wizard that <Last Name> and “Surname” are
equivalent. This is described in “Matching the fields” on page
373.

Selecting the data source (address list)
1) If the current address list, identified beneath the
Select Different Address List button in section 1, is not the one
you wish to use, click the button to open the Select Address List
dialog box (Figure 311) for choosing a data source.
