How do I setup first page header/footer when using mail merge?
I'm setting up a list document (using label doc type) to merge name/address
in two columns. I also want to include a header/footer on the first page only. However, when I set set 'Different first page' on page layout my header/footer still prints on successive pages. Can anyone recommend how I should setup my document? |

Insert the header/footer after executing the merge. Or, use a formletter
type mailmerge main document. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks for your reply Doug, however I'm setting this merge document up for
others to make use of, hopefully, without having to maintain the document once the merge is complete. I have attempted to use both a 'letters' and 'normal word document' main document. Both repeat the the header/footer even though I have 'Different first page' selected in the page layout. Am I setting up the header/footer incorrectly or is this something mailmerge just does not support? Is it possible to automate adding the header/footer using a macro, if so how would you go about setting it up? "Doug Robbins" wrote: Insert the header/footer after executing the merge.

When you execute the formletter merge, the first page of each Section will
contain the header and footer. However, you can use EditReplace to remove the Section Breaks and then the header and footer should only appear on the first page. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
