Repeated lines - top of page - in merge
Hi everyone- hoping someone can help.
I'm merging a long document (100-pages) using MS Word 2002 to a MS Access database. Merge works well except on a couple of pages -- at the end of the last line the last few words get repeated on the top of the following page. To the reader it looks like a typo but it's not. When I view the merged document in Word and skim over the pages quickly the repeat occurs but when I "click" through the suspect pages slowly they correct themselves -- but the pages always print incorrectly when spooled to a printer. I've tried various settings for paragraph/line formatting such as widow/orphan settings but no luck. I have page numbers set and wonder if it's a pagination issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Kathy |

Do you still see the same problem if you check "Reverse print order" on the
Print tab of Tools | Options? If this doesn't cure it, you may have to disable background printing or print directly to the printer (eliminating spooling). -- Suzanne S.
