Doug,
I went ahead and got the file in a format that was acceptable to Access
(Access automatically numbered each record) and did a mail merge with that.
A strange thing happened: the first page of labels was numbered 1-20; the
second page was numbered 2-21, the third page 3-22, etc. Access has each
record numbered 1-150, so I can't figure that one out. Any ideas? Thanks
for you help.

Modify the merge datasource so that it contains a field with the numbers.
Easiest way to do this would be to out it into Excel.

I have a file with 150 names. I would like to number each name 1- 150
automatically in a label mail merge. I go to Insert, Field, click on
numbering, then listnum, then number each label, 1-20, on the mail merge
page, then update labels. After I merge, I get each page of labels
numbered
1 - 20. Is there a way to have my labels of names numbered 1 thru 150
without having to manually number them myself after the merge? Thank you
for
any help you can give me.
