Hi all. I am using Win XP and Office 2003. I have imported mail merge data
from Excel to Word using the Wizard and have completed the mail merge. To
save paper I cut and pasted some cells from other mail merge documents at the
same time. However now when I print I am only getting blank pages.

I had thought that once the mail merge was completed the text was set lie
concrete, but I must be wrong. I have tried to copy an paste into another
page, but still the same result.

Any suggestions greatly received, thanks in advance

Sounds like what you should have done is executed both merges to new
documents and then do the cutting and pasting between those documents and
then print.

What you have probably done is just cut and paste from a preview and in that
case, the concrete to which you refer is more like water - or perhaps ice
that melts on pasting.
