Word sees 19 pages of Merge labels as one page

[MichaelRobert]

I have created a Merge document of 19 pages, each page having 30 labels. But
when I try to print individual pages, Word prints all 19! The activity bar at
lower left of my screen shows individual 'sections' (example 11/19) depending
on where the cursor is, by the Scroll bar shows Page 1 for all pages.

How can I set up to print just one page?

Thanks.

Mike

It sounds as if you have mailmerged to a new document, in which case, as you
say, you will have 19 pages, each of which is page 1 in a separate section.

You should be able to print an individual page by going into File->Print (or
Office button->Print->Print in Word 2007), selecting Page range->Pages and
type e.g. p1s4 for page 4 (i.e. section 4). Selecting Current page should
also work but I could well be wroong about that.

Thanks for the suggestion. In fact, the new document was but one page, even
though it occupied 19 sheets!.

I played around with my document and found that I had a Section Break at the
bottom of each sheet. Don't know how they got there, but as soon as I deleted
the first onme, the display showed that I then had two pages - one was one
sheet long, and the second was 18 sheets long. Find/Replace was not effective
in removing the Section Breaks (^b), so I had to remove each one manually.

Having done that, I then had a 19 page document, and I could print any page
individually.

Thanks again.

What you had originally is what is supposed to happen and Peter indicated
how you can print individual sections of a document. There was no need to
remove the section breaks.

Thanks for your comments. Checking the Current Page box did not help as the
whole single page 19 section page was printed.

I had missed Peter's 'p1s4' suggestion - it is a mich better solution than
having to delete the Section Breaks.

Thanks again.
