Mailmerged envelope document will not print

[chrishepden]

This may be a duplicate posting - ambiguous error message received.

Using Word 2000 under XP Home, I created a mailmerged envelopes document.
On screen it looks fine.
I tried to print the first page/envelope using 'current page' in the Print
dialog - worked fine.
Ever cautious, I moved to page/envelope 2 (then noting that each of the 350
pages is created as a separate Section) and tried 'current page' agin -
nothing happened.
I then tried 'pages 2-12' - again, nothing happened.

I have since tried:
1 Print a different 1-page e-mail from Outlook, on same printer - works OK.
2 Close document, close Word, reopen both - nothing fromthe Mailmerge
document will print.
3 deselect printer, close down, restart, reinstall printer, again only the
first selection prints, then no subsequent selections do anything.

Any ideas ?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Y2hyaXNoZXBkZW4=?=,

Have you tried specifying the section: s2

Which version of Word? If you recreate the merge, from scratch, in a new
document, do you get different behavior?
