Background:
Using Mail merger Word 2000 Win2K: all template items merged correctly.

Problem:
Merge not correct using same doc with W2003 XP.
Borders headers footers and table are randomly askew [out of position] after
merge....any experiences with fixes to this issue.
Thanks

Quite likely due to different printer/printer driver.

Yes,

The way in which Word displays a document is based upon the printer that is
selected under File>Print.

I changed to old printer driver but same askew problem occured.

Then, I got lucky, [current printerdriver]
I removed one row in the table and now the merge works.
I tried this before, but apparently this time I hit the right spot.
I really like mail merger for repetitive doc inserts, glad I can still use
on this doc!

Thanks for sharing ideas
Good luck to all
