wordmerge - first record prints incorrectly
Hi all,
Our IT department has all had a go at this one and no one can make much sense of it. One of the departments on our campus uses a wordmerge from Access 2007 to Word 2007 to print a 6" x 4" postcard. The postcard contains an image (logo of the college) and some text along with two merged fields. Everything is fine and dandy except that the image misprints on the first record only. It seems to print far off to the right hand side so that only the last couple letters in the image actually appear in the upper left hand side of the postcard. I've tried everything from playing with image properties to recreating the whole document from scratch, altering print settings, using an Excel merge instead of an Access. I did get it to print the image on a postcard but it was portrait instead of landscape - which of course is close but no cigar. Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue? Google comes up with nothing... Kimberly |

wordmerge - first record prints incorrectly
What do you see if you merge to a new document instead of directly to the
printer? Are you doing this as a Letter Merge, a Label merge, or what? Have a look at Word Page Layout-Page Setup (look at the full dialog box you get when you click the qarrow in the bottom right of the group), particularly the Layout tab, and look for anything different about the first page or section. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "KimberlyJC" wrote in message ...
