Repeated lines - top of page - in merge
Hi everyone- hoping someone can help.
I'm merging a long document (100-pages) using MS Word 2002 and MS Access 2002. Merge works well except on a couple of pages -- at the end of the last line the last few words get repeated on the top of the following page. To the reader it looks like a typo but it's not. When I view the merged document in Word and skim over the pages quickly the repeat occurs but when I "click" through the suspect pages slowly they correct themselves -- but the pages always print incorrectly when spooled to a printer. I've tried various settings for paragraph/line formatting such as widow/orphan settings but no luck. I have page numbers set and wonder if it's a pagination issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Kathy |

I haven't see this myself, but the next things I would try a
a. ensure Word Tools|Options|Print|"Allow A4/Letter Page resizing" and "Draft output" are unchecked b. try changing the Tools|Options|Compatibility|Options|"Use printer metrics to lay out document" check box - NB, this setting is /per document/, and off the top of my head I don't know whether the output document from a merge "copies" the setting. Beyond that, things get even less likely... c. ensure Word Tools|Options|View|"Outline and Normal options"|"Draft font" is unchecked d. ensure you're using TrueType/OpenType fonts throughout your document e. are there any footnotes, continuous section breaks, newspaper column layouts on the offending pages? If you find the cause/solution, please let us know! Peter Jamieson "Kathy MacAthur" wrote in message ... Hi everyone- hoping someone can help.
