Printing labels from mail merge document

[Linda]

When I try to print the mail merged labels, the document
is printing blank. On my screen I have 19 pages of labels
to print but I can unable to print them. Any solutions?

What happens if you execute the merge to a new document? Do you get a 19
page document with all of the label details? What happens when you try and
print that document?

I merged the document again and I get the same results.
When I convert to a pdf - it is completely blank and it is
only 1 page. But in Word I can view 19 pages of labels. I
just don't understand when I go to print I am only getting
blank pages.

I did do another merge in Word 2000 and it worked great.
For some reason I can't get the labels to print using the
Word 2002 merge.

Any other suggestions?

Are you trying to merge directly to a .pdf printer (driver). What happens
if you merge to a regular printer or use a regular printer to print the
document created when you execute the merge to a new document. If they
print OK, then it is something to do with the .pdf printer setup.
