Mail Merge 2007 - One record per label page
I feel like an idiot, but I cannot get this to work!
I am trying to create membership cards using data from an excel spreadsheet. I need one card for each record. However, everytime I try to complete the merge, I end up with one page of cards for each record. Yes, next record appears starting with the second card. I am using Avery template 8371. I have a total of 154 records. Each individual card contains 3 merge fields - name, title and membership #. Can having a text box over the Next Record cause this issue? I know it is probably something stupid that I missed, but any help would be appreciated greatly! Thank you in advance. |

What is the purpose of the text box? Try removing it.
Or, see the appropriate one of the following articles "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm "Mail Merge with Word 2007" http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website. -- Hope this helps.

Mail Merge 2007 - One record per label page
I have tried removing the text box and just typing directly onto the label, I
have tried moving all of the information down so next record is the only text found in that line of the label. It seems that the graphics and formatted text boxes I am using are somehow creating the whole mess. If I do a mail merge from the same data using nothing but the 3 fields, it works fine. I'll figure something out. Thanks for your help. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: What is the purpose of the text box? Try removing it.
