extra paragraphs in mail merge labels

[Guest]

I am creating labels using mail merge with a Word 2000 data source w/ names
and addresses in a table. Why do I always have 2 extra paragraphs at the end
of each label in the main document? I end up manually deleting the 2 extra
paragraphs in each label in order for the data to be centered vertically in
each label.

Also, is there a way to format the left margin prior to merging or do you
have to do this via paragraph indentation after merge?

Thanks!

I am not sure of the answer to your first problem - I do not experience it.
Re the second issue, you can format the indent of the paragraphs in the mail
merge main document. When you then execute the merge, that formatting will
be used in the labels that are produced.
