Finish/Merge; only half records of linked file actually merge?
I have just printed a mail out using word.
The selected recipients total is 1204 records, which all appear in Preview Results, however when I Finish and Merge ALL only 602 records work. (Exactly half) Upon investigating the file I noticed that each alternate record has not worked. There must be a simple reason for this. Please assist me - My goal is now to recover the remaining records. I will use edit recipient list (I wonder what will happen). Karin |

Almost certainly, you have a Next Record field in the mail merge main
document where no such field is required. Locate and remove that field and then try executing the merge again. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Tinkerbell" wrote in message ...
