I am not able to send a Word file containing the merged document (in this case, mailing labels created from Excel database) to someone else who wants to print/use them. I have printed and saved, but when I email the file, the recipients are getting nothing but a blank page

I have had this same trouble when somebody sends me a merged document

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Dommerdog,

Did you actually execute the merge? or just view and print the data from the
mailmerge main document?

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Hi, Doug. Thanx for your response. I executed the merge. Then I printed. I saved and closed. Then I emailed the file, and the recipient replied to ask if there was something special she needed to do to open the file since the label template was blank. I have always had this trouble, regardless of which computer I am using (work/home/other). I have had the same problem with merge documents (not necessarily labels) that someone else has sent me.

Before emailing the file, Press Alt+F9 and tell me what you see.
