Yes, the one below is the one I was refering to. I'll be honest and am not
up to speed on the lingo (SQL, DDE) as cited on your website. All I want to
do is print addresses from a mail merge onto pre-printed labels. I want the
addresses to be on same margin from the top and left of each label without a
lot of hassle. As much time as I have spent reading the threads and trying
to find it, I could have typed out my labels by now on the typewriter.
Finding the response you just gave me below is not easy in the resources I
have.

I don't want to have to use macros (I used macros in WP but that was eons
ago) or codes (end sub, MergeBar, etc.) . I just want the simplest answer I
can get for something that shouldn't be that hard. I appreciate your
feedback.

You are going to have problems if you try to use text boxes for this as text
boxes are in the drawing layer and thus the merge doesn't see them. Which of
my web pages are you referring to? The one that addresses your problems is
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm . In what way does
this not address your requirements?

I have seen the threads on the subject of repeating labels, but G
Mayor's website didn't help my situation. I am using a text box for
my shipping address mail merge section so that it will hopefully fix
my problem of the margins moving up per label. However, I get the
repeating label 8 to a page. I understand that the next record
should be with the merge codes but when I put it in the text box, I
get an error message. I can't seem to put it anywhere else. I need
your advice.
