Merge to Printer page total error

[Chris Tomlin]

When merging to printer or new document

displays From 1 to -5

Why does it show -5. I have tried different data sets
from 3 records to 9,000 and still shows From 1 to -5
and not From 1 to 3 or From 1 to 9000 as applicable.

Any answers would be most appreciated.
Current fix is to check on All. This sets from to fields
blank, then check From again and enter record numbers from
to.

Hi Chris,

It would help if you told us which version of Word?

Are you then not able to change the "to" entry? I don't know
why it would show -5, but you should be able to change it...
