I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with extra blank pages in your mail merge document. This is a common issue that can be caused by a few different factors, but there are several steps you can take to eliminate those extra pages. Here's what you can do:
- Check your data source: Sometimes, extra blank lines or spaces in your data source can cause Word to create extra pages in your merged document. To fix this, open your data source (e.g. Excel spreadsheet, Access database) and make sure there are no blank rows or columns. You can also try deleting any extra spaces or line breaks in your data source.
- Adjust your page margins: If your page margins are too large, Word may create extra pages to accommodate the extra space. To adjust your margins, go to the Page Layout tab and click on Margins. Try selecting a smaller margin size and see if that eliminates the extra pages.
- Check your section breaks: If your merged document contains section breaks, Word may be creating extra pages to accommodate those breaks. To check for section breaks, go to the View tab and click on Draft view. Look for any section breaks (they will appear as a double line) and try deleting them to see if that eliminates the extra pages.
- Remove any blank pages: If you've tried the above steps and are still seeing extra pages, you can try manually deleting them. Go to the View tab and click on Print Layout view. Look for any blank pages and try deleting them by placing your cursor at the end of the previous page and pressing the Delete key.
I hope these steps help you eliminate those extra blank pages in your mail merge document. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can do to assist you.
