Using LISTNUM fields rather than SEQ fields, which is where you started, the
fields do carry to the merged document. You can manually delete the section
breaks (if Doug doesn't come up with a macro
) by inserting a temporary
paragraph mark before the first page table and displaying the formatting
(CTRL+* )

I tried the replace at every stage of the merge and I kept getting the
message that 0 replacements were made. Thanks for all you are trying
to do for me - I really appreciate your patience!.
It would appear then that the numbering is restarting at the section
break between each page of labels. Try using EditReplace with ^b
in the Find what control and ^m in the Replace with control to
replace the Section breaks with manual page breaks.

yes, I did complete the merge. As a review, i clicked on Insert,
then Field,
under categories, numbering, then SEQ, then Label as identifier,
then OK. After I updated labels, I merged to a new document, went
to Print Preview, and saw that all label sheets started over 1-20.
I even tried a switch \n just for kicks.

I did the Insert, Field, {SEQ Label}, but still got labels
numbered 1-20 on
each sheet of labels. What did I do wrong?

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.
