[Mike Johnson]

I'm creating 13 pages of labels in Word 2007 using a spreadsheet in Excel
2007 as a source document. The template I'm using is the Avery 5160
template with 3 labels across and 10 down. I'm following all the steps
necessary to make the merge work, but when I update labels only the 3 labels
across at the top of the document show up. I've looked everywhere for a
setting to make this work, but can't find any. The process did work in
Word 2003 at home, but not at work.
I'm not using the address block, but I'm merging the merge fields from my
source spreadsheet to set up the labels the way I want them.

I know it's simple, but I'm stumped. I'd appreciate anything anyone can do.

Thanks

Yes, it is a tablet PC

Thanks Graham!

I've got the MS workaround now. I need to find a desktop to run this
from now on. I knew I wasn't crazy!

Be careful, because the "tablet issue" also affects PCs running Vista
(and possibly Win 7) that have "tablet capability", e.g. if a graphics
pad is attached.

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.
