More questions on mail merge

[Robin]

I have a Dell Poweredge 600SC running Windows 2000,
Access, and Word XP. I have an Access Data Base from
which I am trying to merge names and address's onto
mailing labels. I'm using the Avery 5160 Template. I get
one record in the first position and nothing there after.
How do I get it to advance to a new record for each label
position?

For starters, it is not necessary to use Word at all to
do this. Access has
a Report Wizard that will do it.

The step that you have missed in Word is to replicate the
mergefield set up
to each label on the sheet. For a detailed description of
the process, see
the following page on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website:

You have to execute the merge to either a new document or a printer.

That is detailed on Graham's website to which I referred you.
