If your mail merge main document specifies the trays for the first page and
remaining pages, and assuming that this is a Letter-type merge, then each
Letter, being a separate section, will reflect these settings. But you must
set the trays before merging; once you've completed the merge, you'd have to
go through every individual section (letter) and make the settings.

Note that these are not settings that you make in the printer Properties but
in Page Setup (Paper or Paper Source tab) in the mail merge main document.

I am having trouble with a mail merge letter that is two pages. When
printing (Canon network copier/printer ImageRunner 3300), I need the first
page to print to Tray X and the second page to print to Tray Y. Our

printer
has the capability to do this. Unfortunately, Word treats this as one big
job and all but the very first page prints to Tray X.

Canon tech support tells me that this is an issue with how Word sends the
print job. They reccomend using either another applicaiton or some VB

code.
Unfortunately, they were not able to reccomend an applicaiton that might
work and we don't have anyone with VB skills available to work us.

Any suggestions/reccomendations? We're a small non-profit, so we don't

have
a great deal of money to spend.

Thanks for any help,
Ed Lee
