Are you sure you actually performed the merge, and you're not just
"previewing"? ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Pawprintsx4" wrote in message ... I have created a mail merge document for labels - three pages. When I the labels, I only get one page. Can you help me? Thanks. |

Thanks, Graham, but that didn't help me with printing. I have walked through
all of the steps, and the merge went fine. I have all three pages of lables - I see them on the screen. However when I print them, I only get the first page. Thanks.

I would still question whether you are actually executing the merge to the
printer or just printing the mailmerge main document. Use the mailmerge toolbar and then click on the third button on the righthand end which is the "Merge to Printer" button. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks, Doug. That did work. However, at the bottom of the preview screen,
it says in blue"Next: Complete the Merge". I clicked on that, then went up to fileprint, and that is where I was getting the one page. When I clicked on the 'Print' from the merge screen, it worked.

You have to print from the merge process. Printing from the file menu, as
you have discovered, prints the source document and dows not execute the merge. You will find it simpler to merge using the method suggested in the web page I nposted earlier. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Pawprintsx4 wrote: Thanks, Doug.

Unless you merge to a new document and print that, which is the only method
I ever use (I don't trust my merges enough to print without seeing the result!). -- Suzanne S.

When I am setting up a new mail merge main document (especially the
Catalog/Directory type), I invariably have to test the merge half a dozen times before I get the spacing and syntax tweaked just right. After that I guess I could probably trust a merge to the printer, but the advantage of merging to a new document is that if I need to reprint a single page or envelope, it's fairly straightforward. I can understand that some merges are much too large for this method, but I have never created a merge with more than 1,000 records. -- Suzanne S.

only one page of mail merge document is printing
I found a great work-around to this problem by super-replacing all "section
breaks" with "manual page breaks." WORKS GREAT and each letter has its own page #. "Suzanne S.
