HELP ... Too Many Dupicate Labels
I have an Excel Spreadsheet with names address only! I am using the Avery
5160 Label format. I have selected my Data Source, Matched my fields and Merged the data to get the following results. Example 100 address' should use about 4 sheets (30/page) ... Once merged, the 1st page of lables is correct, the 2nd. page deletes the label in the 1-1 position (Or the upper left 1st label) and moves the second label into the 1st position. On page 3, the 3rd. label (upper most right 1-3) is now in the 1st. postion and everything moves up and to the left. The last page NUMBER 100! Shows only the last address, page 99 shows the last 2, page 98 shows the last 3 address's and so on. |

You have to merge to printer or a new document. You are viewing the merge
source document.

HELP ... Too Many Dupicate Labels
Thank you both for the information and the link ... Unfortunatly, I have read
past messages and had already been the site you book marked. I ended up cutting and pasting pages 1, 31, 61 and 91 to a new newly formatted Label document in Word in order to get the information I required. While the link was very helpful, it could not answer my problem.

HELP ... Too Many Dupicate Labels
Thank you Graham and Doug ... I have tried every possible combination I can
think of, but I just cannot seem to have it create the mailmerge correctly. I am truely baffled by this. I ended up cutting and pasting pages 1,31,61,91 to a new document so that I could print only one set. When I attempted to delete the duplicates I wound up with only 1 label per page!

In your mailmerge main document, is there a Next Record field before the
first mergefield in all labels on the sheet other that the first one? What do you get when you execute the merge to a new document? -- Hope this helps.

HELP ... Too Many Dupicate Labels
If you follow the original link -
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm you will see that there is only one page in the source document. In order to produce the labels you have to merge to the printer or to a new document. This is explained in the referenced article. It appears you are messing with the source document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org TS2002 wrote: Thank you Graham and Doug ...

Actually, apart from the user interface, it works exactly like it did in the
old days. If you send your mailmerge main document to me, I will take a look at it and then should be able to tell you what to do with it so that it works correctly. -- Hope this helps.
