Quite likely due to different printer/printer driver.

Thanks Doug

Here is more info:
I am not using merge to print?
I am using merge to new document?
would driver problems you mention occur when merging new document?

Anyone have experience/fix with this?

Thank for all ideas

Yes,

The way in which Word displays a document is based upon the printer that is
selected under FilePrint.

I changed to old printer driver but same askew problem occured.

Then, I got lucky, [current printerdriver]
I removed one row in the table and now the merge works.
I tried this before, but apparently this time I hit the right spot.
I really like mail merger for repetitive doc inserts, glad I can still use
on this doc!

Thanks for sharing ideas
Good luck to all
me
