I have Office 2003 and am attempting to create Mailing labels from Outlook
into Word. I created a view in Outlook with the Contacts I want, went
through MailMerge in Outlook and get into Word.
In Word, used Setup under Main Document to select the desired label,
Edit, to cloose the proper mailing label document (only one availabel),
Insert Merge Fields, to get the info for the labels,
then Propagate labels to fill the remaining labels with the desired info,
finally, View Merged Data, to insert Contact information into each label.

That seem to go ok, except it on creates one page of labels from the
selected Contacts, I have multiple pages of Contacts selected. I checked
the source file and all Contacts are there and checked, but when I get
ready to print, it only makes the 1st page of labels available for
printing.

What am I doing wrong here, and what do I need to do to get it to print
labels for all selected Contacts?

Thanks for any tips.
Charlie

You have to execute the merge, either to a printer or to a new document and
then print that. All you are doing at the moment is viewing one page of the
results and printing that.

The best thing to do is from the View menu in Word, select Toolbars and
check the Mailmerge toolbar so that it is displayed. Towards the right hand
end of the toolbar are the buttons that you use for executing the merge to
the various destinations.
