label document
Word2003
I've created a label document from excel using mailmerge. The document has roughly 5,200 addresses from an avery 5160 label format, which turns out 30 labels per page, approximately 173 pages. However, at the bottom of the screen, the entire document is listed as one page, with 173 sections. As I scroll down, the section number changes and not the page number. The page number remains at page #1. I can print the entire document, the current page, but the print option "print specific pages" fails every time, probably i'm guessing, because the document is considered as one page. Is there a solution? Thanks for any tips. |

Print by section. In the print pages box enter
s1-s3 to print the first three sections.

The document is not considered one page (if the status bar tells you it's
173 pages, then that's how many Word thinks it is). It is considered 173 page 1s, with a Next Page break between. As Graham says, you need to print using section numbers. -- Suzanne S.
