hi,

I have created a label list with 600 pages but when i test print page 1 by
selecting the page range=1 in the print setup the printer still pull out all
the pages which are 600 pages.

any one know how come the page range setup is not working for the label
document?

besides, i also heard that printing of label in word will run out of layout
if i print in big batch (600 pages one time), but it could only print out
according to layout by printing in small batches e.g. 10 pages one time, but
this would b very time cosuming as i got total pages of 600. anyone have the
idea how to avoid the page layout run out of order when printing in big
batches do welcome to give suggestion here

Printing individual pages doesn't work with mailmerge output, as you've
discovered. The way around this is to create smaller output files (eg 10
pages or 50 pages or whatever you're comfortable with). This is one of the
options provided by the mailmerge helper when you're creating the output --
eg if you have 20 labels to the page, create output for items 1 to 1000,
1001 to 2000, etc.
 
If you merge to a new document, each 'page' is separated by a section break
so you can send individual sections to the printer by addressing them
directly in the print dialog, thus to print 'pages' 1-10 address them as
s1-s10.

Label and form letter merges put section breaks between label sheets and
letters, so each sheet is page 1. You must use section numbers instead. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/PrintMultipleSections.htm or the "Print
specific pages and sections" portion of the "Print a document" Help topic.
