MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2007all page numbers became 1 after mail merge
after mail merge all the page number became 1. I want the page is continous. I tried delete all the page break by replacing "^b" with "". but can't find any page break. help me please. A letter mail merge will create a series of sections one for each document, each with the numbering starting from 1. This is normal behaviour. If you want a continuous document then change the document type to Directory and re-merge or remove the section breaks (not page breaks).

A merge document can be one of three basic types - letter (yours), directory, or mailing labels. Other merge documents are variations on these three types. From the mailmerge toolbar (first button) - select the document type, see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm With earlier Word versions you can change the document type from the mail merge helper where Directory is referred to as Catalog. With Word 2007 click Start Merge from the Mailings tab, with your merge document on screen and change the document type to Directory. If you have already merged, use the replace tool to replace ^b with ^m in your merged document which will remove the section breaks and replace them with page breaks (or replace with nothing to remove the breaks completely).
