Click Set Database on the left side, or use File > Database Settings. After connecting the data source, use Insert > Text From Database to place database fields into the label design.

Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, CSV, TXT, and tab-delimited files are supported.

For most cases, no SQL knowledge is required. Use File > Database Settings, choose Excel, browse to the file, select the worksheet, and then insert fields using Insert > Text From Database.

Advanced users can use SQL formatting in the data-source window. For example: SELECT Format(CStr(MyDate),'mmmm dd, yyyy') as DateNew FROM [Sheet1$] for January 5, 2005, or SELECT Format(CStr(MyDate),'mm/dd/yyyy') as DateNew FROM [Sheet1$] for 01/05/2005.

Connect to the data file, select the fields to join while holding Ctrl, then use Tools > Merge selected DB-Texts. This can combine values such as FirstName and LastName, or Address1 and Address2.
