Header missing from mail merge document
I have generated delivery letters using mail merge from an Access query for
several years. Since converting to Office 2003, when I click the "Merge to new document" button, the header and footer of the letter are missing in the new document. When I do a print preview, the header and footer are there; however, I have to email these letters, so I need the header and footer in the new document. |

Email doesn't use headers and footers because it doesn't use pages. Email as
an attachment if you want the header and footer. Not seeing them in print view is related to the white space setting.

Actually, I was trying to get the header and footer into a new Word document,
not an email message. I could see the header and footer in the print preview, but I couldn't see them in the Word document. I changed the white space option and this corrected the problem. Thanks!
