Page feed command after merge from xcel worksheet using MS Word.

[mtcetcjccrac]

Background:

I used to have no problems merging a database of 2400 names & addresses
created on MS Xcel (old version) into a MS Word doc, and then printing out
around 79 pages of labels. I was using WIndows 98. recently I upgrated my
systems to Windows XP, and Office XP. Now, when I merge the database and try
to print the labels, the printer will only advance one page of labels and
then stop, I have to manually feed in all 79 pages....one at a time. I have
checked and do have the current drivers for my printer, HP Deskjet 890CSE.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What happens if you try to print to plain paper. If that works, it's a
problem with the paper feed arrangement on the printer. Nothing at all to
do with Word.

On the other hand, have you actually executed the merge, either to a new
document or directly to the printer?
