Vexing problem with mail merge line suppression
Has anyone seen this or have a solution?
I am setting up a mail merge to label (5095 nametag). As with many Word layouts, this is a table with rows representing the data and rows representing between label spacing. I have inserted my fields, done the basic formatting, and propagated labels (I am using a "behind text" graphic in each cell; don't think that's relevant but just in case). The labels won't line up with the label sheet, because any empty lines are being suppressed - the spacing rows in the table are suppressed, and any empty paragraphs on the labels themselves are being suppressed. It looks right when non-printing characters are shown, but if that's off or the document is sent to the printer or print preview, the blank rows and paragraphs are suppressed. I suspect it's a compatibility option somewhere, but I'm baffled. Any suggestions? -- Allan S. Warrior

Vexing problem with mail merge line suppression
Forgot to mention that it is Word 2003 running on Windows XP. I do have some
third party add-ons installed including FlashPaper and SnagIt, which I'm happy to disable if you think it will help. -- Allan S. Warrior Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor "Allan S.

I removed the FlashPaper add-in and recreated the document from scratch; it
is now working correctly. Very odd. -- Allan S. Warrior Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor "Allan S. Warrior" wrote: Forgot to mention that it is Word 2003 running on Windows XP.

That is odd. FWIW I also have FlashPaper on a VM somewhere just in case
but ever since Adobe dropped support for it, it has seemed like a bit of a dead end. Perhaps scribd/iPaper is a better bet all round. Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk Allan S.
