Step 3: Insert address block
This is the most complex step in the wizard. In this step (Figure 318) 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
322.

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 319)
for choosing a data source.
2) If you have not already created the address list, you may click Create to do so
now. This step will allow you to create a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file
with a new list of address records.
