I am using MS Word 2003 for the first time. I completed a mail merge that
created 77 letters. The documents are in the correct order when I scroll
through my merged document. However, when I print the letters, they are
radomly out of order! Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

When you say the merged document, have you executed the merge to a new
document? And, are you saying that when you print that document, the pages
are out of order?

Correct. I have executed the merge to a new document. The pages of this
new document are in order. However, they do not print in this same order.

Weird. I don't suppose they are printing in reverse order?

(I have to ask the obvious sometimes!)
