Mail Merge Oddity
I'm running card stock through the printer mail-merging names and address in
the address block. I'm getting a black smudge mark at the entry edge....running from the edge to about a quarter of an inch onto the card making an unsightly smear mark on the far right edge of the face of the postcard. I'm merging from an Excel Document (although I have also tried it from a word document). If I print onto the card stock from another WORD document, the smudge mark DOES NOT appear. THEREFORE, it appears that IT IS NOT a printer problem. The problem is that the software merge program is telling the printer something that is creating the smudge mark. I'm using the Office 2007 products......Word etc. I have recreated the merge document a number of times. Still the same problem. Very frustrating. Help would be appreciated. -- Templar |

Mail Merge Oddity
If you just print the mail merge main document, i.e. don't merge it, do you
see the same problem? If not, that suggests that the merge could be altering the layout in some way. Are you merging directly to the printer? If so, you could try merging to a new document first, then try to see if there is anything different about the layout of that document compared to the one you started with. ISTR that Word 2007 can do something strange with the margins in label type documents, but forget the details off the top of my head. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Templar" wrote in message ...
