Thanks for your post.
I have checked my code and template as well. And i cannot identify any
section break being inserted.
Whats happening is that my merged template does not have this problem. But
when i Save AS the output as a new document. It contained a blank page with
only the footer.
I have tried manually deleting the Section breaks by searching for ^b. But
in doing so, my footer elements do not get merged with data elements.
Still wondering on where to look for similar threads.

Word's form letter mail merge does not insert a section break if you merge
only one record from a data file, so either your section break is in your
template or your vba routine is inserting it.

Hi,
I am using Word 2003, Mail merging from a VB program. I have
predefined template in which some data is to be merged (Letter). Each
time only one record is to be merged from a data file.
I have a footer at the end of the page.
Now my requirement is to print the footer only on first page. I have
set the option in Page Setup.
But when i am done with MailMerge and new document is saved, it
inserts a new section break at the end. This section break
(continuous) takes extra space and a blank page is added with only
the footer.
Can anyone help me how to avoid this. I dont want the section break
at the end. There is only one record so no new doucments are to be
created for each record.

Thanks,
Adeel
