Also, try unchecking the "Background Printing" box under
ToolsOptionsPrint.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the ideas Doug. Unchecking 'Background printing' made no
difference, even if 'Update fields' was unchecked too.
However merge to new document did work, and all records print properly. I
would prefer not merging to a new doc as many of our merges are several
pages, and go to 3,500 records!
As I said never had this problem before, and still puzzled as to why. Is it
just another glitch with the new merge in Word 2002 / 2003?
