When I am creating labels, and go to Print Preview before printing, some are
missing. Usually the first one in a group is missing, or whole pages. How
do I correct this? It won't print the entire group if they don't show up in
Print Preview.
Thanks.

How are you creating the labels? By mail merge? Are you using a Tablet PC?

If by mail merge, see the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow
MVP Graham Mayor's website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm

or, if you are using Word 2007, "Mail Merge with Word 2007" on fellow MVP
Graham Mayor's website at

http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm

If you are using mail merge and are using a Tablet PC, use the following
macro to 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.
