Mail merge limits for print documents
I use mail merge to print mailers for customers (Outlook contacts /Word
Document). These are not emails, just going to the printer. The documents have graphics and are double-sided. Whenever I try to print more than about 250 it just stops printing, no errors, it just stops. So I break up my data source lists into smaller lists so I know I get them all printed. This is a pain and I'd rather find what is stopping them all from printing. I don't know if it's a Office limitation or hardware. I just got a new PC (64-bit/8 GB RAM/Windows 7), will that fix it? Any suggestions? |

Mail merge limits for print documents
It's hard to say what the problem is here, but you may be able to overcome
it by merging to a new document and then use a macro to split the document to the printer as a series of separate print jobs e.g. Sub SplitMergeLetterToPrinter() ' splitter Macro ' Macro created 16-08-98 by Doug Robbins to print each letter created by a ' mailmerge as a separate file. ' Letters = ActiveDocument.Sections.Count Counter = 1 While Counter Letters ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False, Range:=wdPrintFromTo, _ From:="s" & Format(Counter), To:="s" & Format(Counter) Counter = Counter + 1 Wend End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Dee" wrote in message ...
