why do I get [a lot of] duplicate labels when I use mail merge
because I am not a office 2007 wiz and I was following the microsoft tutorial
on address label creation. Does not do anyone much good if their tutorials instructions don't even work.

Take a look at http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm and see
where what you are doing differs from that. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Robert wrote: because I am not a office 2007 wiz and I was following the microsoft tutorial on address label creation.

Access has a Report Wizard for the creation of labels.
