mail merge labels multiple on one page

[Skeety]

This question is specific to Word 2007.

I know how to do mail merges and have done it NUMEROUS times. However, in
Word 2007, it's proving to be more difficult because Microsoft's trying to
make it easier. (sigh).

I am doing Christmas cards. And I just want to print all my TO addresses on
label. I got it all set up...only problem is...Word seems to want to force
me to only print one label per page. How do I force Word 2007 to fill up one
sheet before going to the next? I'm using Avery 5162..and there's 14 labels
per sheet.

I can't execute the mail merge like I'm used to. My only options are to
print (at which point it sends all the labels to the printer...but only
printing one per page) or to edit individual labels. Which is still one
label per page.

See where what you are doing differs from

You have left those Christmas cards a bit late

hahaha. TELL me about it! Unfortunately, I was out of town on business and
just got back last night...heheh

Either way, Thank you VERY much for your help.

Turns out the problem was the "Update Labels" button. Not sure where I went
wrong....as it was greyed out most of the time. But at some point, I could
hit that button, and viola...it propogated it out.

by the way...AWESOME tutorial!

Either way...much appreciated!

That button is very easy to miss; even easier is the one that actually
completes the merge (so that you get more than one sheet of labels).
