Default Mailmerge Text Disappears in Print Preview & Does Not Print

Labels (Avery 5160) were merged in Word 2007, everything was done in the
correct order. However, when printed the labels were blank (not an error
with the copier) and Print Preview displayed blank pages. It was like the
text was not there, changed font, changed font colour - nothing. Is this
some setting with the program or a glitch? Mailmerge done on another
computer in the office the same day did not have any issues.

If you execute the merge to a new document (Click on the Finish & Merge
button and then select "Edit Individual
Documents"), does the new document that is created contain the text of the
labels? Can you print it?

Default Mailmerge Text Disappears in Print Preview & Does Not Print

I am having the same probelm. When I merge to a new document and select
"edit Individual" the new document does contain the text of the labels - but
it prints blank. I definitely followed all instructions correctly - using the
wizard. Earlier today I successfully printed labels using mail merge. Any
suggestions?

Send me the document created by the merge to a new document and I will have
a look at it.

My coworker will try the instructions in the link posted when next doing a
Mail Merge... sometimes it works on that computer, sometimes not. Will
followup when know more.
