Cannot print more than one label at once
I don't have an answer to your question. I would suggest that you take a
look at Cindy Meister's articles at http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...ces.htm#Fields. You may find an answer there. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "Cassie" wrote in message ... When I click "merge to printer" it only prints one label at a time. If I choose "update all labels" and choose "merge to printer" it prints two labels of one record. I also chose "complete the merge" then chose "merge to printer" still same thing. When I go to print preview I can only view one record if I do not choose "update all labels". If I choose "update all labels". I can view more than one record, however it is showing it printing two labels of the same record.PLEASE ADVISE!!! |

It sounds like you missed the step to replicate the mergefields to all of
the labels on the sheet.

When I replicated the labels it put the same information on all other labels that were viewed.

There should be a Next Record field in front of the first mergefield in
all of the labels except the first on the sheet. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

I need to create a catalog -- two records per page, 70 pp total. I used mail merge, trying it both as a catalog and as labels, following directions (including to put Next Record field in front of 2nd record.) Everything I have tried has failed. Results have included page 1 AA, page 2 BB, etc. or AB, BC, CD, or AB CD BC DE, ad infinitim. Never, ever has it worked, in many hours of concentrated effort. And I'm not a novice Word user. I have to conclude that this feature does not work. One record per page, yes. Or one page of records. But after page 1, no. If someone can demonstrate otherwise, I would like to see an explanation. I tried it in both Word 2000 and 2003. ------------------------------------------------ ~~ Message posted from http://www.WordForums.com/ |

The easiest way to ensure two records per page is to create a label merge
using a label format with two labels per page. Word will duplicate the required information in both cells. Where you appear to be going wrong from then on is that you are not completing the merge. You must merge to a new document or to the printer.
