I am using Windows XP. I have created an envelope in Word 2003 and merged
it with an address list from Access. My problem is that I have to print
each envelope individually. How can I get Word to print all the selected
addresses on envelopes without having to manually scroll through them and
click print each time? I have used "mail merge recipients" in Word and
checked the recipients I want to use, but even if I use the print dialog and
select print all pages, only one envelope prints at a time. Thank you.

Hi Lisa,

You have to actually *execute* the merge, either to a new document or directly
to the printer. If you're using the toolbar, look at the buttons on the right.
If using the Task Pane (Wizard), go to step 6.
