Mail merge problem with Word 2007
I am having a problem in getting a successful mail merge to print some
labels usng Excel as a data source on a 3 column, 7 row sheet under Office 2007/Vista. When doing the merge, only the first row of labels gets completed. I have used the same Excel data under XP without problem. I have tried doing it manually and using the 'wizard' but have failed miserably - any thoughts please as to whether its me or a glitch somewhere? (The Excel sheet and mail merge works well on my desktop under XP Pro and Office XP) |

Mail merge problem with Word 2007
Sounds like you possibly have some tablet-like functionality on your PC
Use the following macro to overcome the problem with propagation of mail merge field fields with a label type mail merge when using a Tablet PC and some other Computers that have Tablet PC Functionality available: Sub MailMergePropagateLabel() Dim atable As Table Dim i As Long, j As Long Dim source As Cell, target As Cell Dim myrange As Range Set atable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) Set source = atable.Cell(1, 1) Set myrange = source.Range myrange.Collapse wdCollapseStart ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=myrange, Text:="NEXT", _ PreserveFormatting:=False source.Range.Copy For j = 2 To atable.Columns.Count Set target = atable.Cell(1, j) If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then target.Range.Paste End If Next j For i = 2 To atable.Rows.Count For j = 1 To atable.Columns.Count Set target = atable.Cell(i, j) If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then target.Range.Paste End If Next j Next i atable.Cell(1, 1).Range.Fields(1).Delete End Sub It is suggested that you put this code into a template that you save in the Word Startup folder so that it becomes an add-in and will be available whenever you need it. As the macro has the same name as the Word Command that is supposed to do the job, this macro will run when the Update Labels button is used when setting up the mail merge label main document. -- Hope this helps.

Mail merge problem with Word 2007
Many thanks for your response but not being an expert I am unclear as to your
reasoning as to the cause of the problem. However rather than bamboozle me further, if you would be kind enough to give a brief summary as to how to do as you suggest with implementing a macro within a template, it would be much appreciated. Is this a common problem or am I an oddball? Once again many thanks for your trouble.

Mail merge problem with Word 2007
There is a known problem to do with mailmerge to labels on PCs with tablet
functionality. The symptoms are /usually/ that the first few labels on the sheet, plus some in the last row, are displayed/printed but the others are blank. Then Word usually crashes. Although the symptoms have actually been quite consistent whenever I have seen the problem, I don't know what the "underlying" cause is, so I couldn't say whether /similar-sounding/ symptoms result from the same problem. FWIW the symptoms seem too consistent for it to be a "timing" problem On Vista-based PCs the relevant "Tablet functionality" may be loaded even though you do not have a "Tablet PC" - e.g. it is loaded here once I install the drivers for an ordinary Wacom tablet device. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "goffer23" wrote in message ...

Mail merge problem with Word 2007
Doug many thanks for your reply - have tried puttig the macro in but it has
come up with a syntax error on these 2 lines 'ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=myrange, Text:="NEXT", _ PreserveFormatting:=False' Is this me or is something amiss? Peter - thanks for that, I do have a wacom tablet software installed so you could be right. Is there any means of disabling it or does it mean removal? I hope of course that the macro route can fix it "Peter Jamieson" wrote: There is a known problem to do with mailmerge to labels on PCs with tablet functionality.

Mail merge problem with Word 2007
I haven't tried it here but what I would consider doing is
a. opening Vista Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Services (get through any of the security dialogs Vista throws at you) b. see if "Tablet PC Input Service" is listed. If so, select it, right-click and choose "Stop". c. Do the same for "TabletService" d. do your merge e. reselect "Tablet PC Input Service", right-click and click "Start", and the same for "TabletService" (It may be enough to Stop/Start one of those services) -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "goffer23" wrote in message ...
