What are you using to merge to, a label? When you say portrait, what do you
mean? Are you using Publisher 2002 (XP)? Do you have a label number, envelope
size or whatever. We'd be glad to help if we had more information.
When you merge you can only have one label on your screen or one of anything you
are merging to. Publisher has no problems with a Works database.
This article is 2003 but it applies to 2002 as well.
