Section breaks in labels
I am often creating a labels for large mailings (1000 to 2000 labels at a
time) so there are 30 to 75 pages of labels in one document. Every now and then when I merge to the New Document, Word does not insert the Section Break between the pages so the top part of the next page's labels appear at the bottom of the current page. This then continues on every page in the document. I can't for the life of me figure out why it does this. I am currently using Word 2000, but it happened on Word 97 in the past. And it's not just on my computer. I help a woman do labels for a church mailing and it happens on her computer, too. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it? This has been going on for YEARS and it is driving me insane! TIA, Nancy |

Section breaks in labels
Does it do so if you start Word in safe mode (hold the CTRL key whilst
starting Word)? If it clears then the problem is probably a header (an empty paragraph?) in normal.dot throwing out the alignment. Alternatively it could herald a mismatch between the page sizes of the document and the printer settings. Remove any zoom option in the file print dialog. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nancy T. wrote: I am often creating a labels for large mailings (1000 to 2000 labels at a time) so there are 30 to 75 pages of labels in one document.

Section breaks in labels
I am not using normal.dot for these documents. I have a template set up for
labels. And there are no phantom paragraphs in the header or footer. That is why it is so confusing as to why this only happens sometimes.
