[S N]

I am trying the code given in a new document having single page (modified QUOTE 12 to QUOTE 1).

Still I am getting the following error message and the resulting document still contains only one page after print.

!Missing Operator

Please help

Hi SN,

So how many Sections per letter are there? With that information, you could modify the macro print groups of Sections.

An alternative approach is to place the following field code at the very end of the last Section in your mailmerge main document:
{=MOD({PAGE},2) \# "{QUOTE 12};;"}
What this will do is to insert a page break if the page on which it occurs is an odd-numbered page.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.

The solution is not working.
Probably the problem is that the original single document also contains many sections. Hence the macro is splitting the document
itself into many separate print documents, sometimes even when there is no section breaks between them.
Please help with alternative solution.

Execute the merge to a new document, and then use a macro containing the following code to do the printing

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count
.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i
End With

That will send each letter to the printer as a separate print job and hence the duplexing will work correctly.

I have a 11 page letter which I want to send to about a 100 different people. I am storing the addresses of all the 100 contacts
in a word file and am using mail merge to generate the 100 copies of the letter addresses to each of the 100 contacts.
However, when I send the new mail merge document to print (duplex printing on both side of page), it prints the first page of
the second letter pn the back side of the 11 page of the first letter. I dont want this to happen.
Further if I add a blank page in my letter as the 12th page, the total page count in the footer shows the count as 12 whereas
there are only 11 pages available and hence is incorrect.
What I want is that the footer should show the total pages as 11, and after the 11th page the printed document should keep te
12th page as blank automatically. The first page of the next mail merger letter (to the second recipient and so on), should
start from a fresh page and not print at the back side of the 11th printed page (when duplex printing has been selected).

Kindly help.
