Default Mail Merge Labels in Word 2007

I assume that you are using the Update Labels button in the Write & Insert
Fields chunk of the Mailings tab that appears when a mail merge main
document is active.

It certainly works here on a Dell Latitude D610, running Word 2007 under
Windows XP SP2.

I guess there is a possibility that Vista has introduced a new wrinkle, but
before I try and escalate the problem, can you report back and confirm that
what you are doing is what I have described above. Also, please advise the
exact hardware specification.

I'm using a new Dell, normal size. I also tried Mailmerge using the
normal way, not the step by step, and the same result.

The computer is up to date with the Microsoft updates.

Thanks,

Dennis

Are you using a Tablet PC?

If so, see the Knowledge Base article at:

A workaround for the problem is included.

I loaded Office 2007 and am trying to do a mail merge to labels using the
step by step commands.

All goes normally until I get to "update all labels". Only the top
labels in each column are "replicated".

I end up with the two top labels on each page, but many pages.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I'm running Vista and using Avery US 5162.

Thanks,

Dennis
