MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2007Label lines are not showing
When preparing for a mail merge into the labels, the lines for the labels are now showing. Using Word 2003. Is something unchecked? Have you put any fields from your data source into your mail merge main document (i,e, the label layout?) Word does not try to guess which fields you want from your data source. What is the data source? (I will probably only be able to follow this up tomorrow, UK time).

The data source is Excel. It shows the first record but no lines when trying to insert more fields. I hope this make sense. > Have you put any fields from your data source into your mail merge main > document (i,e, the label layout?)

I'm sure it makes sense, but I still can't work out from what you are saying what it is that you are not seeing :-) It's probably obvious to someone else in this group... Maybe you mean that you cannot see the table gridlines? If so, try Table->Show Gridlines If not, what "lines" are missing that you expect to see?

Using Word 2003. Is something unchecked? Peter, The gridlines are not showing at all. You just see a blank sheet. I will try your suggestion. Thank you! > > I hope this make sense. > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >> > are > >> > now showing. Using Word 2003. Is something unchecked? > Peter, > The gridlines are not showing at all.

For a label layout, Word creates a Word table, where each cell in the table corresponds to a label (well, it is sometimes more complicated than that) 2. If you have susccessfully created that table, then using Show Gridlines should show the outline of the table 3. If you cannot see the gridlines, I suposse there are two possibilities: a. something is preventing the gridlines from displaying (I cannot think what that could be) b. there is no table. (Maybe you could try inserting a new table and show gridlines to see if "show gridlines" /normally/ works? Otherwise, by all means despam my email address (remove the "Killmaps" from pjj@KillmapSpjjnet.demon.co.uk , send me your document, and I'll see if I can see anything) SignaturePeter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk >> Peter, >> The gridlines are not showing at all.
