No pages, only sections???
I just performed a merge with a couple of documents both with a sinlge page
containing a single table. The merge should produce 18 pages. However, when I place the cursor in an page, the page always shows as Page 1 in the Word Status Bar. Each page shows as a different Section (18 in all). If I go to the print dialog, I am able to select to print only the current page and it does indeed only print the page that the cursor is on, but why do I not see all the different pages in the Status Bar? Any ideas? TIA Paul Lautman |

What you have produced is a merged document containing 18 sections, each of
one page. Each section corresponds to an individual form letter. You can select sections for printing by putting the section numbers in the print pages box e.g. s1-s3 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul Lautman wrote: I just performed a merge with a couple of documents both with a sinlge page containing a single table.

Ahh. Is there a way to produce a document containing 18 pages?

Merge to a new document and replace the section breaks (^b) with page breaks

So there is no way to have this done in the merge itself, one has to run a
change command after the merge? Graham Mayor wrote: Merge to a new document and replace the section breaks (^b) with page breaks (^m). Paul Lautman wrote: Ahh.

Correct - though if the 'pages' are to remain in a single document, I can't
see why you would need to change it. The document will look the same, only the status bar page indication will be different. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul Lautman wrote: So there is no way to have this done in the merge itself, one has to run a change command after the merge?

I quite agree, the last was just curiosity.
Thanks for your help Graham. Don't suppose you've got any ideas about my previous post??

Paul,
You can do this in the merge itself by selecting "Directory" for document type. You'll want to have a page break at the end of the merge form since this will create a single document.
