BTW if you happen to see this message, I posted a general remark about this
issue in the Win 7 forums as there did not appear to be a post already. It
might be worth adding any specific technical info. you have and/or getting
others to post if they have the same problem. The post is now near the
bottom of the following conversation:

but it loks as if an "reply" would have to be in the newer "general
comments" discussions.

What are the exact steps to make this a template?

You say the template goes in the startup folder. Which is the Word
startup
folder? Is it C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12, or in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Templates, or somewhere else?

Does the name of the template file matter? Or does the first line "Sub
MailMergePropagateLabel()" do the mapping over the bad default command
regardless of the template name?

I've tried several incatations of the template file, but I am still not
getting the Address Block propogating properly across the label
document
after hitting "Update Labels".

By the way, I'm not on a tablet PC, but on a touch enabled desktop. You
are
going to see many more people run across this bug as Win7 drives more
touch
PC volume into the market.

Thanks,
Bob

Sounds like you might be using a Tablet PC or a PC with some form of
Tablet
functionality.

Use the following 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.

I'm using mswordxp. I've inserted my merge field in the first
column/row
of
the label template and clicked on the update icon in the tool bar and
have
no
response. Shouldn't it update and insert "next record" in every cell?
