Default Why did the merge stop merging?

It is not quite clear what you mean. Does the mail merge main document
contain 19 sections or does it contain one section and you have 19 records
so that when you executed the merge to a new document, that new document has
19 sections?

If it is the latter, are you sure that there is data in all of the records
for the fields that you have in the footer? If the former, do you have
the merge fields in all of the Sections, or are the Sections all "Linked to
the Previous'

Hope this helps.

I'm four section into a 19 section merged document, and I find that part
of
the merge that I had set up (simple, just first and last names) in the
footer
of the document have ceased to exist! Why did it do that? How can I fix
it
without handling that part of every section?
