There is a bug with that facility when using a Tablet PC (and sometimes a
non-Tablet PC that has some "tablet-like" functionality available). Here is
a macro that overcomes the problem.
Macro to overcome the problem with propagation of mail merge field fields
with a label type mail merge when using a Tablet PC and some other Computers
that have Tablet PC Functionality available:
Sub MailMergePropagateLabel()
Dim atable As Table
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim source As Cell, target As Cell
Dim myrange As Range
Set atable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
Set source = atable.Cell(1, 1)
Set myrange = source.Range
myrange.Collapse wdCollapseStart
ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=myrange, Text:="NEXT", _
PreserveFormatting:=False
source.Range.Copy
For j = 2 To atable.Columns.Count
Set target = atable.Cell(1, j)
If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then
target.Range.Paste
End If
Next j
For i = 2 To atable.Rows.Count
For j = 1 To atable.Columns.Count
Set target = atable.Cell(i, j)
If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then
target.Range.Paste
End If
Next j
Next i
atable.Cell(1, 1).Range.Fields(1).Delete
End Sub
It is suggested that you put this code into a template that you save in the
Word Startup folder so that it becomes an add-in and will be available
whenever you need it. As the macro has the same name as the Word Command
that is supposed to do the job, this macro will run when the Update Labels
button is used when setting up the mail merge label main document.
If you do not know what to do with the code, see the article "What do I do
with macros sent to me by other newsgroup readers to help me out?" at:

When using 2007 mail merge for labels I follow the wizard and insert the
address block, but when I go and hit update all it only shows the first 3
labels on the page, and the last 2. The labels seem to be updated, as
multiple pages show up and the recipients at the end of my data source
correspond to the last labels on the last page, but there must be a gap
somewhere from being merged to showing up on the page. Please Help!
