You may be able to do it if you use a catalog (or in Word XP and later, it
is called directory) type mail merge main document. You would however only
put one row of labels in that document.

I've created a mail merge that outputs a number of labels for each record
from an excel spreadsheet. the number is taken from a field in the
spreadsheet and is different for each record. to do this I use "IF"s and
then do the "NEXT" record myself. it works great except of course that
Word
automatically inserts a next record at the start of each page. I can't
have
that because at the page break I might be right in the middle of printing
out
8 labels of the same record and then Word forces a new record!

any ideas?

thanks.
