How do I print 1st page letterhead 2nd plain in Word mail merge

[Todd]

I'm using an HP 8150 printer. I have a 2 page letter that I want the 1st page
on leterhead and the 2nd page on plain paper. After I perform the merge it
prints the 1st page on letterhead as I want. Then it prints all other pages
on plain paper instead of starting over with each new letter. It seems to
treat the merge as 1 big 20 page document instead of 10, two page letters.

I've been on the phone w/ HP for 2 hours and it seems to be in Word. If I
make a single 2 page doc w/ 1st letterhead and 2nd plain, then I tell the
printer to print 2 or more copies it will alternate leterhead and plain as I
want. But if I print from the merge function of Word it only prints the 1st
page on letterhead.

Thanks,
Todd

Use the following macro to print the document

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Sections.Count
ActiveDocument.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="2" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i

That will cause Word to send each letter to the printer as a separate print
job.
