page numbering in Word 2007 won't work on merged file
Thanks, removing the labels, and using only either a table or columns worked.
The pages are numbering correctly now. I also used the "directory" choice on starting up the merge. "Suzanne S.

So what should I do now? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The mail merge main document is the single document that contains the merge 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. -- Suzanne S.

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

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. |

Yes, for what you're doing, Directory seems like the way to go.
