Under Report Builder, select to build a Report.

I included AR information because I wanted that in my report as well. Just don’t include it if you don’t need it.

Select how you want the items grouped. I selected call number first so they should end up in shelf order.

I chose to put Lexile as my first item and then AR items after that. Disregard if not using AR information.

Here, I chose to limit my call number by F since I am beginning with Fiction section first.

Title and save your report.

Find your report in the Report Manager tab. Click to view.

Select to download the XML file. Then select Save. I usually save mine to my desktop so that it is easier to find. I also renamed it Fiction.

Then, open Excel and locate where you saved the XML report. Tell Excel to open that file.

Then you will need to select how to open. Leave the dot in As an XML table.

Excel will want to create a schema for the table. Just tell it ok.

This is now the list of books with the information from the Follett report. Manipulate as needed to input missing Lexile numbers. Again, I have AR information included, so disregard columns E, F and G.

Next, open Word. Go to the mailings tab and select Start Merge Mail, drop down select Step by Step Mail Merge.

Next, select Labels from the Mail Merge window on the right side. Then select the link at the bottom.

Then select label options under Change document layout. If you do not have your spine label already in the system, then select New Label to create your label details. I called mine Spine Label. Then click ok.

At next step, select Use an existing list. Then Browse for the list and locate where you saved your Excel file.

Select which sheet you want the information to merge from. Mine was on sheet 1.

Check the Mail Merge Recipient pop up to make sure that has the correct information.

Next, click into the first label box. Click on the Insert Merge field icon to insert the Call Number field and the lexile field. If you want the word Lexile to appear on the label, you will need to type that into the label as well. Then click on update all labels for the information to get onto all labels. Don’t worry

if you can’t see all of the information on the later labels.

The next step allows you to preview your labels. Mine are not alphabetical here because I didn’t make adjustments to

the Excel document yet. I will also need to go into the labels and press the enter key to bring my Author letters to the next line.

Then complete the merge and print.
