Mailmerging wrong page length
I set up a Mailmerge template using Word2003 with a 4" page length defined in
Page Setup. The merged data looked fine on the screen, but when printed to a matrix printer with continuous stationery each page throw seems to skip as though it is printing on A4 sized sheets. I've even set the printer itself to 4" page length but Word seems to override both the template document settings and the printer settings. I tried a similar exercise with an old Windows98/Word97 PC and it seemed to work, so what is the difference with XP and Word2003? Or am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks Bod |

Yes, I was indeed missing something. I've fixed it now.
