Mail merge merges only the first page of data rather than all

[KB]

When I try to merge an excell document with 200 addresses, only the first
page will merge. How do I get it to merge the entire document

Thechances are that you are just previewing your merge - you really need to
/complete/ the merge by merging to printer or outputting to a new document.
The Merge wizard is a bit ambiguous - follow it through to the end.

Thanks for this info, however, I do the wizard all the way through and when I
press merge all at the end, nothing seems to happen. How do you merge to a
printer???

In Step 6 of 6 in the Task Pane, what do you see?

Previous: Preview your labels

Step 5 says, Complete merge

 

[Peter Jamieson]

OK, so in step 5 it says "Complete merge". So you go to step 6, I hope. But
there is one more thing to do.

So you get to step 6. What do you see?

(this is what I meant when I said that "The Merge wizard is a bit
ambiguous - follow it through to the end.")

Peter,

You know what is really strange??? I rebooted my computer, did the whole
process again and at step 5 I did complete mail merge....at step 6 where it
said preview labels, I selected that and then clicked on the print icon
within the wizard and not in my regular task bar.....Somehow, it printed all
the pages. Go figure.....Does that make sense to you???

The Wizard sucks.
