How do I get mail merge to work in Office 2007. Is there a bug?
I've been trying to make labels using Office 2007 using an Excel 2007 mail
list but when I preview the labels, only the first 3 and last two labels on a sheet are shown. Is there a bug in this program? I tried to download any Office 2007 updates but I get a message saying my pc is up to date. I'm using Vista Home Premium. Any suggestions will be appreciated. -- Judy |

Here is a macro that will work around that problem
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.

This problem is related to the Tablet functionality on a PC, which you may
have installed on Vista even if you do not have a Tablet.
