Mail merge only fills first row of labels with data
Are you using a Tablet PC? If so there is an issue with the utility to
propagate the set up of the first label to the other labels on the sheet. The following macro will overcome the problem with propagation of mail merge field fields with a label type mail merge when using a Tablet PC and some other Computers that have Tablet PC Functionality available: Sub MailMergePropagateLabel() Dim atable As Table Dim i As Long, j As Long Dim source As Cell, target As Cell Dim myrange As Range Set atable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) Set source = atable.Cell(1, 1) Set myrange = source.Range myrange.Collapse wdCollapseStart ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=myrange, Text:="NEXT", _ PreserveFormatting:=False source.Range.Copy For j = 2 To atable.Columns.Count Set target = atable.Cell(1, j) If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then target.Range.Paste End If Next j For i = 2 To atable.Rows.Count For j = 1 To atable.Columns.Count Set target = atable.Cell(i, j) If target.Range.Fields.Count 0 Then target.Range.Paste End If Next j Next i atable.Cell(1, 1).Range.Fields(1).Delete End Sub It is suggested that you put this code into a template that you save in the Word Startup folder so that it becomes an add-in and will be available whenever you need it. As the macro has the same name as the Word Command that is supposed to do the job, this macro will run when the Update Labels button is used when setting up the mail merge label main document. -- Hope this helps.

When trying to complete labels mail merge with excel document, it only fills in the first row of the labels. It doesn't complete the whole sheet of labels (I have 20 addresses on my excel document and only 3 show up). What am I doing wrong? |
