Are address labels buggy

[Mike NG]

In Office 2000 I am creating mailing labels using the wizard. The data
file is another word document. Using L7163 (7 rows x 2 columns) and
changing the font from 10 to 12. Each record has 7 fields, each printed
on a separate line with 4 spaces at the start of each line

Carry out mail merge on my mailmerge main document with say 15 labels to
print. Paging down to check the page break is in the right position-
everything looks OK, except if I do Ctrl-End and Ctrl-Home twice over
when the document is opened the 15 label appears at the end of the first
page

Same thing happens if I go into print preview as soon as the document
opens. I am patched up to SR-3. Ok, you wouldn't normally page up and
down several times, but since I am printing to labels for the first time
I want to make sure everything's ok and not waste any labels

Is this a known bug?

The document produced by the mailmerge is an ordinary document containing a
table on each page (=Section) with fixed cell dimensions.

Using Ctrl+End, Ctrl+Home will not cause what you are experiencing. Are you
sure that one time you did not hit Ctrl+Enter instead by mistake. That
would insert a page break.

Nope - the same thing happens with repeated PgDn to the end followed by
repeated PgUp to the top, two or three times over. The labels are
getting shuffled up, not pushed down by page breaks

Anyway, doing a test to blank paper reveals this is only a display
problem within the application - the actual output is fine

In that case it may be a screen driver problem - see if there's an update
available.
