I have created a mail merge document for labels - three pages. When I print
the labels, I only get one page. Can you help me? Thanks.

Are you sure you actually performed the merge, and you're not just
"previewing"?

Thanks, Graham, but that didn't help me with printing. I have walked through
all of the steps, and the merge went fine. I have all three pages of lables
- I see them on the screen. However when I print them, I only get the first
page. Thanks.

I would still question whether you are actually executing the merge to the
printer or just printing the mailmerge main document.
Use the mailmerge toolbar and then click on the third button on the
righthand end which is the "Merge to Printer" button.

Thanks, Doug. That did work. However, at the bottom of the preview screen,
it says in blue"Next: Complete the Merge". I clicked on that, then went up
to file>print, and that is where I was getting the one page. When I clicked

You have to print from the merge process. Printing from the file menu, as
you have discovered, prints the source document and dows not execute the
merge. You will find it simpler to merge using the method suggested in the
web page I nposted earlier.

Unless you merge to a new document and print that, which is the only method
I ever use (I don't trust my merges enough to print without seeing the
result!).

When I am setting up a new mail merge main document (especially the
Catalog/Directory type), I invariably have to test the merge half a dozen
times before I get the spacing and syntax tweaked just right. After that I
guess I could probably trust a merge to the printer, but the advantage of
merging to a new document is that if I need to reprint a single page or
envelope, it's fairly straightforward. I can understand that some merges are
much too large for this method, but I have never created a merge with more
than 1,000 records.

I found a great work-around to this problem by super-replacing all "section
breaks" with "manual page breaks." WORKS GREAT and each letter has its own
page #.
