labels thrown "out of whack" when cell or table margins changed? How to fix ... ?
"Peter Jamieson" wrote in message
... OK, I had another look at this and get the 21 rows you describe. This is definitely an error in Word 2000's layout algorithm as you only have to reveal the paragraph marks etc. to see that there is an unconditional new page break under row 20. However, when you hide paragraph marks or print preview, it's definitely 21 rows per page. However, going into File|Page Setup does show a likely cause which is that the bottom margin is set to 0. If I change it to 36pt (0.4 or 0.5in would probably do) the problem goes away. I suspect this uncertainty about where to place row 21 is responsible for the jittery display as well. Interesting. I wasn't able to get bottom margins to work at either .5, .4, ..3 or .2 inches, and Word insisted on putting .1 to .17 but this is good to know. If I ever run into this type of problem again with merges, this thread in the archives will definitely help as there's an arsenal of things to try in order to get the merges to work properly. Thank you! After lunch, I also much check to see to see if I'm still missing a couple of labels. I've printed out the documents and will compare both then. Thank goodness there are only 122 records to check through g. Cheers. D Peter Jamieson "StargateFanFromWork" wrote in message ... "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ... Just one thing I'd like to check - your Mail Merge Main document does only have one page? [snip] Yes. It's always been just the one page. Go figure ... |
