Does mail merge for labels work in Word 2003?
Trying to do my first mail merge to create labels from an XL list in
Word 2003. What a mess! I waded through it all, but I'm getting a very weird result. Instead of one label for each person, I'm getting a page of labels for each person, but not with all the labels that same person. There is a page for each person on my list as the first label, then the next 13 labels are for the next 13 people on the list! So the first page has the first 14 (14 labels to a sheet) people on the list, the second page starts with the second person on my list and ends with the 15th person, and the third label starts with the third person on the list and ends with the 16th person, and so forth. Does anyone have a clue as to what is happening? Better yet, how to fix it? Thanks! |

You are probably /previewing/ the merge, rather than "completing" the
merge by merging to an output document or merging to the printer (which is different from printing the mail merge main document). If you are using the Mail Merge Wizard, get to "Step 6 of 6" in the Wizard, then use the Print... option to merge to printer, or the "Edit individual labels" option to merge to a new document. Alternatively, in many cases it can be easier to enable the Mail Merge toolbar (View-Toolbars) then use the appropriate button near the right-hand end to merge to printer or to a new document.
