Label Counter Starting One Higher in the Next Page
My mail merge Label Doc prints 3 labels (with counter number) on each
standard letter size paper. I use the below Field embedded in the label doc for the rec/label counter purpose. 1) for the first label { ASK start "Start number" \d "1" \o } { ASK start "Start number" \d "1" \o }{next} 2) for the 2nd/3rd label { ={ start } + { mergerec } - 1 } {next} The mail merge operation runs OK, ending with a new doc of about 120 labels, each with own counter number. The problem is the counter number starting on the next page. In the same page, the counter numbers run consecutively, the new page would skip one, starting at 2 higher from the end of the previous page. What may be the problem, and how to resolve it? |

Label Counter Starting One Higher in the Next Page
Remove the { next } from the third label. The normal position for it is
BEFORE the first mergefield in all labels on the sheet EXCEPT for the FIRST. But as you have it AFTER the mergefields in the First and Second labels, you do not need it after those fields in the Third label as the mail merge process automatically indexes to the next record when moving from one sheet to the next, without the need for the { next } field. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug, but it did not work for my situation, as I have 3 labels
in one sheet. After removing the { next } from the 3rd label as suggested: with Start @201 1st Sheet 201, 202, 202 2nd Sheet 204,205,205 and so on. |

I am not sure why you have the two ASK on the first label
for the first label { ASK start "Start number" \d "1" \o } { ASK start "Start number" \d "1" \o }{next} If I set up the first label with { ASK start \o }{ = { Start } + { Mergerec } - 1 } and then on the other labels on the sheet, I have { Next }{ = { Start } + { Mergerec } - 1 } Then when I execute the merge I insert 201 into the Ask dialog, the labels are number correctly without any skipping of numbers between sheets. -- Hope this helps.
