Records to be merged -- All or From: To:
When I select a range of records to merge using the "Records to be merged"
function, it starts at the correct record but continues on past the stopping point. I am creating mailing labels using Word 2000. I request record 8 as the From: point and record 15 as to To: point. But Word continues on to fill out the entire page of labels. Thirty labels on the page -- it goes to record 38. If I start at record 20, it continues to record 50. I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks! |

This is my reply to your previous message:
When you have a label type merge (or any merge with multiple NEXT fields in the mail merge main document, as far as I know) then Word will always "honour" all the NEXT fields. In other words, although what you're seeing isn't what you want, it's normal Word behaviour. In this case, probably the simplest way to stop the extra records from filling your sheet of labels would be merge to a new document, select the addresses you don't want, and delete the content, or set the text colour to white, then print the result. There are other possible workarounds, but that's probably what I'd do. Peter Jamieson "Doratha" wrote in message ...

Peter,
Sorry for the duplicate post. This is my first time using the site and I was checking back to see my original post in the wrong place. So, I sent it again. Thanks for the answer. Not the easy fix I was hoping for but at least I know it isn't something I was doing incorrectly. I like your idea of setting the type to white! Thanks again. |

No problem. I like your idea of setting the type to white! It's a well known and useful kludge, as long as you're using white paper, of course :-) Peter Jamieson "Doratha" wrote in message ...
