Mail merge in Word 2002
Hi all.
I'm having a problem trying to use mail merge to print labels in Word 2002. Data source is a spreadsheet of names and addresses from Excel 2002. Word version is 2002 SP3 with all updates (10.6826.6825). This is on an XP SP2 tablet with all critical updates. Here is what actually happens. In Word with a blank document open, I click Tools, Letters and Mailings, Mail Merge from the menu. In the mail merge wizard I click labels, next, change document layout, label options from which I pick Avery 5160 (then OK), next, use an existing list, browse, select my excel file, OK to the sheet, OK to the mail merge recipients, next, address block, uncheck "insert company name", OK, Then when I click eihter the "Update all labels" button in the wizard, or the "propigate labels" button from the mail merge tool bar, only 5 labels on each page actually update, and the rest just say "next record". It's actually the first 3 labels and last 2 labels of each page. Has anyone every heard of a fix for this problem or have a suggestion? I googled it a bit and found KB835706, but so far that is the closest I can come to an answer. Thanks in advance. |
