I'm doing a mailmerge to make some labels off some shared contacts and for
some reason it's only making 1 page. There are over 100 contacts but no
matter how we do this we still end up with just one page of labels.
What am I missing?

You are probably just previewing the merge - you need to complete the merge,
either by merging to a new document or merging to a printer - if you're
using the mail merge wizard, make sure you go through all the steps.

Thanks for the suggestion but we were indeed Completing the merge. We tried
doing it to a new document and we tried printing it - either way only getting
1 page.

No idea what is happening there. As a workaround, if "over 100" means "not
more than 200" it may be easier and quicker to select batches of contacts
and merge each batch separately.

Which version of Word? How are you connecting to the data source? Are you
starting from Outlook, or using the facility in Word's Mail Merge Wizard?

We're using Word off Office 2003 with SP2 and it's up to date otherwise.
We're opening Word and doing a Mail Merge with the step by step 'wizard' if
that's what that is. Our source is a shared contact folder for someone else
in this person's office.
I've done labels like this before but I've never seen where it only
completes 1 page no matter how many records it has to deal with. The only
variable really is the source is a shared contact folder.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help thus far by the way.

So I went through this entire process with the user in question one more time
and lo and behold if it didn't work this time. Not sure what we did
differently but thanks again for offering suggestions!.
