page numbers
I have a form set up attached in word, and my list of names in an excel
spreadsheet. When I do a mail merge, it comes in with 244 pages which is correct (there are 10 names on one sheet and the form is seperated with a section break) The merge is run and the names are inserted at the right position. Question, when I try to put page #'s in the footer and I go to page setup and change it to continuous instead of secion, it only puts 1 on each page when I do the merge. I have 244 pages all with page 1 in the footer. What am I doing wrong? |

If you want it to be continuous, you can probably change the data source to
a catalog or directory type mailmerge main document Otherwise, try using Ctrl+A after executing the merge and then from the Insert menu, select Page Numbers and then click on the Format button and check the Continue from Previous Section radio button, then click on OK and then on CLOSE. -- Hope this helps.
