What about step 6? Select 'Edit individual letters'. This will create a new
document containing all your records.
Merging is much easier if you follow the procedure at

I understand where you are coming from. I repeated the Mail Merge
process and made doubly sure I 'finished the merge' (Step 5 of 6). Still
no feed from the tray.
I am resigned to hand feeding each sheet. I know that works.
Thanks for trying.

I still reckon that you have not actually executed the merge. Your
comment about being able to "cycle through all the labels using the
tool bar." is a dead give-away.

I completed the merge for sure. All the labels contain the
information in the data source and I can print them all out if I
use the manual feed slot.

Print preview of what? It sounds like you are viewing the merge
source document and have not completed the merge. You will only
see more than one
page if you merge to a new document.

Thank you, Graham.
I tried all the paper source options (Default tray, Auto Select,
Tray 1 and Manual) and still get only the first page printed. What
puzzles me also is that Print Preview only shows page 1 even
when I've changed the view option to show 2x3 pages.
Thanks again.

Set the page setup options of the merge document not to print
from the manual feed (file page setup paper paper source)

Oh yes, I have executed the merge. As I said, I can print all
the labels if I feed the sheets in one at a time through the
manual slot. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP"

Have you actually executed the merge? Sounds like you might
just be printing the preview of the results.

Word 2003
Brother HL1440 Printer or HP Photosmart.
Avery 5383 Labels
I set up a mail merge from Excel to print about 100 name
tags. I wanted to preview the print job on plain paper (8
1/2 X 11) before printing on the actual label stock.
The paper tray had lots of paper but when I ran the print
job, the printer only printed the first page and then
stopped. This is true for both the Brother and the HP.
However if I started the print job and fed individual sheets
in through the manual slot on the Brother, the job completed
properly. I am happy to say the labels came out just as I
expected. I then set the label option up so that the paper
source was
the
tray rather than the manual slot. That didn't help. Only the
first sheet was printed again. It is curious to me that when
I chose Print Preview, only the first sheet is presented, not the
whole job. Anyway, is there a way to make the
Brother finish the complete job
from the tray so that I don't have to feed all the sheets in
through the manual slot?
Thank you very much.
