Mail Merge Propagation
When I click "Update all labels" via the Mail Merge Wizard or manually click
"Propogate Labels," only the first three cells and the last two cells actually propogate. Also, the little counter on the mail merge toolbar will not go to anything before 8 (of 14). Help! |

Are you doing this on a tablet PC. If so, it is a problem that has cropped
up before and has not been completely solved as yet. Fellow MVP Peter Jamieson has been very involved in some research into this and I received an email from him the other day that contained the following information "if you use the keyboard to select the Propagate Labels button in the Mail Merge Wizard, then use the spacebar to "click" the button, the function works correctly." Give that a try and post back with how you get on. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Wow, bizarre. I do have a tablet PC. I should have posted earlier instead
of wasting so much time trying to figure it out on my own! What a random bug! Your work around worked, although I was lucky enough to have someone here who knew to right-click on the wizard pane in order to be able to tab through the options and get to "Update Labels." Otherwise it just tabs through the cells in the document. Thanks Doug =) "Doug Robbins" wrote: Are you doing this on a tablet PC.

Hi Tanya,
Can you tell us what brand and model of tablet you are using. We are trying to get something done about this issue. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Mail Merge Propagation
I also am using a tablet PC and am having the same problem generating labels.
I do not know how to get into a wizard for the mail merge, I just use the icons to work my way through. I could not figure out how to use the keybosrd to "click" the propogate button using the spacebar.

Mail Merge Propagation
I could not figure out how to use the keybosrd
to "click" the propogate button using the spacebar. It isn't at all straightforward, but once you've remembered the steps it certainly isn't hard... a. If the Word "Task Pane" is not on display, use View|Task Pane to display it, then... b. if the "Mail Merge" task pane is not currently displayed, click the down-arrow (little black traingle pointing downwards) at teh top right of the task pane and select "Mail merge" from the drop-down list c. if step 4 of 6 is not showing in the task pane (it has "Arrange your Labels" at the top), click the "Next: (whatever)" or "Previous: (whatever)" links at the bottom of the task Pane until you get to step 4 of 6. d. Use the F10 key or Alt key (on its own) to activate the menu - you will probably see the "File" menu highlighted. e. Use ctrl-tab to move between the various menus, toolbars, task pane etc. When you have rached the task pane, the task pane header should be highlighted and you will probably see that one of the items in the pane is selcted (i.e. has a dotted box around it) f. use the Arrow keys to seelct the "Update all labels" button. g. Press the spacebar There's probably a much easier way but that will have to do for now. Peter Jamieson "Heather" wrote in message ...

Mail Merge Propagation
Hi,
Hitting F10 on the physical keyboard was the key for me making a little more progress. But just a little. Hitting F10 added some 'tags' to each ribbon element. A little box with 'M' appeared next to the Mailings ribbon tab. Hitting the letter m on the keyboard then changed the boxes to appear next to the mailing items, with 'B' next to the 'Update Labels' button. Alas, hitting the letter b on the keyboard does not properly propogate the Address Block element across more than the top 3 labels plus the last 2 on the page. Still need help.
