Mail merge problem
On the list of names and addresses I have created and stored all of the data
appears correctly on the screen. However when printed some header titles appear along with a watermark design and a footer design. This ruins several of the mail labels on the page. How do I eliminate this unwanted material while keeping the material I want -- Thanks, Redwine |

Mail merge problem
However when printed some header titles
appear along with a watermark design and a footer design. Can you describe what "some" means? I mean, does this appear on some pages, every other page, part of some pages or what? If you are seeing a watermark in the main body of a document, the chances are that that watermark has been inserted (at some time) into one of your headers/footers and saved, either accidentally or deliberately, into a template (Normal, or a template you're using for your mail merge main document). Have a look around! Just bear in mind that Word has around 6 different header/footer areas for 1st page in a section, subsequent pages, odd/even pages and so on.

Mail merge problem
Thanks Peter,
This is a short mailing list only 1 page. The material that is part of the header has some of the titles used in making template such as last name, first name, position, company, etc which I saw in making my list for the template. The other part has a dotted line extending down about an inch from the top of the page to a shaded line running across the top of the page, further down in the middle of the page on the left hand side is a stylized globe, and at the bottom is a shaded line running half way across the bottom of the page with a dotted line running the remainder of the way across. I know where the the titles came from but not how they got there. The other I haven't a clue. -- Thanks, Redwine "Peter Jamieson" wrote: However when printed some header titles appear along with a watermark design and a footer design.

Sounds like you might have headers and footers set up in your normal.dot
template. Try renaming it to Normal.old and then restart Word and try the merge again. -- Hope this helps.
