mail merge in word 2003

[Tracy]

I have a list of 40 names and addresses in an Access 2003 database and I
have a mail merge document in Word 2003.

The sheet of labels contains 15 labels and when I mail merge my database I
only get the first 15 addresses and only one page is shown in the print
preview.

I know that last year I could print out the 40 addresses on 3 sheets of
labels.

What am I missing?

All my programs have been re-installed on to a new computer as last year I
was using Windows XP and this year I am using Windows 7

What you're missing is that you've previewed the merge but not completed it.
If you're using the Mail Merge toolbar, click Merge to New Document. If
you're using the MM Wizard, there's an inconspicuous link that says (IIRC),
"Edit individual documents," which has the same result.

Hi thanks, you feel so stupid sometimes.

My excuse, I only do my Christmas list once a year.

Not really your fault. The Mail Merge Wizard (in the opinion of many, not
just me) makes mail merges needlessly complex. You might want to look at
