Mailmerge inserting empty pages within the document

[Junaid]

Hi everyone,
I'm using MS Word 2000 and trying to Mail merge a document with a
tab-delimited text file. The master document consists of a big table and
nested tables inside. There are only 4 fields inserted in the document and
it is one page long.

When I execute the mailmerge command, MS Word inserts a blank page after
every iteration of the merge process. The blank pages are not visible but
the page count shows double of what the pages that display. When I print the
document, then I actually get those blank pages. I tried to print preview
and navigate through pages but Word complains that it cannot repaginate the
document.

Any clues? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Junaid

First, check File|Page Setup and ensure that the mail merge main document is
not set up with a Section Start type "Even Page" or "Odd Page" (it should be
"New Page"), and that Mirror margins is not checked.

Thanks Peter. Everything was fine except the "mirror margins" was checked.
Unchecking that did the trick. I appreciate your help.
