Hi,

I am having problems trying to print address labels (the standard Avery 5160
variety) Here is an example file + excel data sheet used for the mail merge:

http://www.filedropper.com/12509testmailmerge2


You will notice that the labels have been set as the correct size (Avery
5160) and the excel data seems to display correctly.

However, it will not print. We have tried printing on 3 different printers
without success. On one of the pritners that had an LCD, the error message on
the printer said "FEED LETTER." One the otehr 2 printers the error light just
went on.

Any idea what the problem is? I am using Word and Excel 2007 on WIndows 7.

Avery 5160 is a letter size label. Possibly your printers are setup to use
A4 as the default paper size.

I print on 8.5 x 11" sheets of paper all the time so i can't imagine this to
be the problem, but how can I check this?

Try executing the merge to a new document and then print that document onto
label stock.

Hi,

Thanks, unfortunately it didn't work. I'm about ready to give up on the word
mail merge

[Doug Robbins - Word MVP]

I downloaded your files and have executed the merge with absolutely no
problems. If you send me your email address, I will send you the result as
either a Word document or a .pdf file.

Thank you, unfortunately that was a test merge and the data has no value to me.
