Missing contacts after merging data to labels

J

Judy

Using the XP OS and Outlook 2003: when I attempt a mail merge from Word
using labels as my main doc (I select the label size as I go through the
steps) and a Contacts subfolder as my data source, selecting Address Block in
the Arrange your labels step, the merge doesn't complete.

After I click on "Complete the merge" I can see a the numbers at the bottom
of the Word window ticking away to 68 (there are 68 contacts in all) but the
end result is one populated label on one page, and one populated label on a
second page. Even if I choose to print there are only two completed labels.

If I click on "Find a recipient" in step 4 (Preview) I can go to any of the
Contacts, so I'm not sure where the disconnect is between the data and the
finished product. Please help, and thanks for your time.

It is in Step 4 of the Wizard under the section "Replicate Labels" with the
explanation that "You can copy the layout of the first label to the other
labels on the page by clicking the button below." The button says "Update
all labels".
