Default mail merge labels

I have a separate page for Word 2007 merges
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm however I suspect your
second suggestion is probably the more likely

Even though you are using 2007, see if what you are doing differs
from the steps in the article "Mail Merge to Labels with Word XP" on

However, if you are you using a Tablet PC, or possibly using Vista as
the operating system, there is a bug in the Propagate labels routine
that should copy the setup of the label from the first label on the
sheet to all of the other labels on the sheet.

The following macro can be used to overcome that problem:

Macro to overcome the problem with propagation of mail merge field
fields with a label type mail merge when using a Tablet PC and some
other Computers that have Tablet PC Functionality available:

Sub MailMergePropagateLabel()

Dim atable As Table

Dim i As Long, j As Long

Dim source As Cell, target As Cell

Dim myrange As Range

Set atable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)

Set source = atable.Cell(1, 1)

Set myrange = source.Range

myrange.Collapse wdCollapseStart

ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=myrange, Text:="NEXT", _

PreserveFormatting:=False

source.Range.Copy

For j = 2 To atable.Columns.Count

Set target = atable.Cell(1, j)

If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then

target.Range.Paste

End If

Next j

For i = 2 To atable.Rows.Count

For j = 1 To atable.Columns.Count

Set target = atable.Cell(i, j)

If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then

target.Range.Paste

End If

Next j

Next i

atable.Cell(1, 1).Range.Fields(1).Delete

End Sub



It is suggested that you put this code into a template that you save
in the Word Startup folder so that it becomes an add-in and will be
available whenever you need it. As the macro has the same name as
the Word Command that is supposed to do the job, this macro will run
when the Update Labels button is used when setting up the mail merge
label main document.

whenever I click mail merge for labels, only 1st row is merged on
each label
sheet.
I am using Office 2007.
