The following macro will enter the necessary number of blank records at the
start of the data source:
Macro to set the first label on a part sheet of labels for a label type
mailmerge.
Dim MMMDoc As Document
Dim dsource As Document
Dim dtable As Table
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Set MMMDoc = ActiveDocument
With MMMDoc.MailMerge
If .MainDocumentType = wdMailingLabels Then
If .State = wdMainAndDataSource Then
Set dsource = Documents.Open(.DataSource.Name)
Set dtable = dsource.Tables(1)
i = InputBox("Enter the number of labels that have already been
used on the sheet.", "Set Starting Label")
If IsNumeric(i) Then
With dtable
For j = 1 To i
.Rows.Add BeforeRow:=.Rows(2)
Next j
End With
End If
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.Execute
End If
End If
End With
dsource.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
The macro should be run when the mail merge main document has been set up,
and the merge is ready to be executed. It will execute the merge to a new
document which can then be printed out onto label stock. The modified data
source is not saved, so that if necessary, it can be used again, commencing
with a full sheet of labels or with a part sheet of which a different number
of labels have been used.
