mail merge envelopes

[Guest]

I have created a primary file to do envelopes and a secondary file which
contains the data. When I merge these two files I get a blank envelope
between each complete one. I can't actually see or delete the blank
envelopes, but if I merge 3 entries, 5 envelopes are printed (the second and
fourth ones are blank); if I merge 10 entries, I get 19 envelopes (once again
every second envelope is blank). At the bottom of the screen where it says
how many pages there are it has the incorrect amount - for example it will
say that there are 19 pages, if I use the page down button it will only go to
the odd pages.

If you execute the merge to a new document, do you get a document containing
blank envelopes? If you do not, it's a problem with the feeding of the
envelopes to the printer.

How did you prepare this envelope document? My guess it has a blank page
attached?
It would be simpler if you started with an envelope template - there's one
you can use for download from my web site. Replace the macrobutton field
with your address fields.
