Default Merging from Excel, only get the first page of labels

Hi,

I followed the directions for mailmerge into labels in the help
window, and things seemed to go fine, but, when previewing the
document, I could only see the first page of what should have been
about 11 pages.

Is that normal?

I tried to print the first two pages, and the first page came out
twice.

Any hints on what I may have done wrong?

My excel spreadsheet page has 337 records, of course with headers.
When I was in the window to select my records to be included in the
merge, I noted that not only were all my 337 records selected, but all
the empty records below. Is this OK? I did not want to go through and
deselect all those empty records manually, and using shift-click did
not work in this window, or I would have deselected all and then
selected my range of 337 fields.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Cheers!

You have not completed the execution of the merge.

See the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
