Mail merge and printing
Frequently we have to run labels which can run into the many hundreds of
labels. When I try to print multiple copies of these batches, the printer will not collate them even though we have collation set as the default on both the printer object and the print job. I can collate from file or any other type of .doc or.xls, but not from the mail merge function. Any suggestions? |

Execute the merge to a new document and then print as many copies of that as
you require with the appropriate collation settings. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

I appreciate the reply.
Every time we run the batch file to generate the labels, it is merged to a new document. When we go to print from that .doc, even setting the printer to collate, it will not do so.

This then is nothing to do with mail merge. If by collate, you mean that
you want the document printed in order p1, p2, p3 ... then p, p2, p3 then you could use a macro Dim copies As Long, i As Long copies = InputBox("Enter the number of copies required.") For i = 1 To copies ActiveDocument.PrintOut Next i -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks Doug.
We'll give this a try and let you know how it works out. Again, thanks. Corky "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: This then is nothing to do with mail merge.
