Merged fields not printing
I am trying to print out barcodes, to label warehoused boxes. I have an
excel spreadsheet with one column, and a word document, which takes the information from the excel spreadsheet. When I merge the document, I can see the correct information on screen, however when I submit a print preview, or print document, the merged fields are not visible. What am i doing wrong? -- Tina L. |

Hi ?B?VGluYSBMLg==?=,
I am trying to print out barcodes, to label warehoused boxes. I have an excel spreadsheet with one column, and a word document, which takes the information from the excel spreadsheet. When I merge the document, I can see the correct information on screen, however when I submit a print preview, or print document, the merged fields are not visible. How about if you execute the merge to a new document? Do you see all the information in the new document? And in print preview?

I ave tried to merge it to a document. It looks like it works, all the data
is on the screen, however, when I create a print preview, or actually print, nothing. If I go in and manually enter the data over the merged field, this will print, but none of the merged fields will. Stumped! -- Tina L.

It sounds like you're trying to print the main merge document. This is allowed, although it's not how you're supposed to use mail merge. Which version of Word do you have? Have you checked whether the stuff that's not printing is formatted as "hidden" text?

Cindy,
Thank you. The last time I dealt with hidden text was when I lived in Switzerland! However, this is the first time that the text has been hidden without me purposefully formatting it this way. It must have had something to do with the cut-and paste I did to populate the labels. Again, thank you so much. -- Tina L.

I'm releaved that's all it was! I was already fearing the worst: that you'd say, no, the text wasn't hidden... And then I wouldn't have known what to try next :-) Cindy Meister |
