only top three labels merges in mail merge in 2007

[Rayban]

Hi everyone,

When I mail merge in word 2007 it only merges the top three labels and the
rest of the sheet is blank. I have seen their demos and read through some of
help available. No matter how I do it, it only merges the top three labels
and the rest is blank. So the first three names and addresses appears on the
first three labels and the next 3 appear on the next sheet and so on.

Anybody has any idea how to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance
Rayban

Here is a macro to overcome the problem with propagation of mail merge field
fields with a label type mail merge when using a Tablet PC and some other
Computers that have Tablet PC Functionality available:

Sub MailMergePropagateLabel()

Dim atable As Table

Dim i As Long, j As Long

Dim source As Cell, target As Cell

Dim myrange As Range

Set atable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)

Set source = atable.Cell(1, 1)

Set myrange = source.Range

myrange.Collapse wdCollapseStart

ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=myrange, Text:="NEXT", _

PreserveFormatting:=False

source.Range.Copy

For j = 2 To atable.Columns.Count

Set target = atable.Cell(1, j)

If target.Range.Fields.Count > 0 Then

target.Range.Paste

End If

Next j

For i = 2 To atable.Rows.Count

For j = 1 To atable.Columns.Count

Set target = atable.Cell(i, j)

If target.Range.Fields.Count > 0 Then

target.Range.Paste

End If

Next j

Next i

atable.Cell(1, 1).Range.Fields(1).Delete

End Sub



It is suggested that you put this code into a template that you save in the
Word Startup folder so that it becomes an add-in and will be available
whenever you need it. As the macro has the same name as the Word Command
that is supposed to do the job, this macro will run when the Update Labels
button is used when setting up the mail merge label main document.
