Creating mailing labels with the Mail Merge Helper

S

Stephen White

I am running Word that came with the Works 2003 suite. I installed the
Mail Merge Helper via View -> Toolbars -> Customize -> Commands -> All
Commands, and went about trying to create sheets of mailing labels
choosing Mailing labels as the type of main document I wanted.

The data source is Works database (but I have also exported the data to
a comma separated file and used that as the data source).

The database contains 18 records (the first person being Adair, the 13th
Burridge).

When I click on the Merge button, all I end up with is a document in two
sections (and as it happens two pages). The first label (cell) on the
first page has the label for Adair and the rest of the 11 labels (cells)
on the page are blank. The first label in the second section has the
label for Burridge and all the remaining 5 labels/cells in the section
are blank.

When I create a Form letter, using the same database, and do the merge
it runs through perfectly producing 18 Form letters as required.

Can someone advise me what I need to do to get the Mailing labels merge
working properly?
