Trying to print mail merge- over 100 recipients 2 pages per--need to print
odd pages from one printer drawer(page 1 preprinted letterhead) and even from
another drawer(page 2 preprinted letterhead). I found in page set-up where
you can print page 1 from one drawer and "other pages" from a different
drawer but because it's a mail merge it does not recognize that pages 3-4 are
actually a new 1-2. So pages 3 and beyond get pulled from the Page 2
preprinted letterhead drawer.

anyone know what to do with this. If I have to collate the letterhead by
hand it will take hours.

Execute the merge to a new document and with that document displayed, run a
macro containing the following code:

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count
.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i
End With

That will send each letter to the printer as a separate print job so that
your page 1 and page 2 source settings should be used.
