Default page numbering in Word 2007 won't work on merged file

If you're using a label template to do this, then each sheet of labels is a
separate section, which could be complicating the issue.

Thanks for your quick reply! No, "Different First Page" is NOT checked. So
what should I do now?

The mail merge main document is the single document that contains the

fields. If you go to Page Setup, Layout tab, is "Different first page"
checked? If so, then you need to open the Header/Footer and add a PAGE
field; there is already one in the First Page Header/Footer.

Sorry, but I don't follow you. I don't use mail merge often, so I am
not
familiar with all the details you speak about. Can you elaborate?

Hi Joel,

This would certainly occur if the mailmerge main document was had its
layout formatted with the 'different first page' setting and
you hadn't inserted a page # field on the second page.

I am using a merged Word file to create a directory, but I can't get
Word
2007 to number the pages. Each page has 9 records merged from an
Excel
file
data. It numbers the first page, but then nothing appears on
subsequent
pages. I am using both label and table templates to format the page
that the
data will be merged to. I tried entering the page numbering both
before
and
after the merge, but neither will work.
