Why does the mail merge print a whole sheet of the same label?
I have created a custom label, actually an A4 business card, for use as name
tags at a conference. These are printed in portrait - the writing going sideways - with additional designs added. When I do the mail merge, the final merged document has a whole sheet of the same name - a sheet of record 1, then a sheet of record 11, etc. I have tried the mail merge two different ways: In Word using an Excel data source and in Outlook after importing my contacts from the Excel data. Both ways I come up with the same problem. PLEASE HELP!! |

Do you definitely have one { NEXT } field (use Alt-F9 to check) at the
beginning of each label cell except the first? (It sounds as if you must, but please check anyway).

See http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm
and http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm or http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm As Peter suggests it seems as though you have this setup as a form letter merge and have not inserted the NEXT record fields which a label merge would correctly place for you. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org kipandsheril wrote: I have created a custom label, actually an A4 business card, for use as name tags at a conference.
