I recently did a Mail Merge in Word 97 of a cover letter that will accompany my latest newsletter to be mailed out next week. I successfully made all the changes that Mail Merge required of me to correct any incorrect address fields. However, I have run into a printing problem that I simply cannot overcome, no matter what I try, when trying to print these cover letters

When I Merged the letter, I merged it to a Document, instead of to the printer. The entire document, which consists of 687 alphabetically organized (A-Z, descending) separate addresses, was merged as a single document all under Page 1, and every page (and separate address) thereafter is listed as a Section of that initial Page 1 document. For example, if I want to go to the 19th alphabetically listed address, it would be listed as Page 1, Section 19, or if I want to go to the 56th listed address, it is listed as Page 1, Section 56, and so on and so forth. This has proved to be a printing headache, because I simply cannot (or do not know how to) control the number of separate addresses I want printed at any given time. For example, I have already printed the first 18 cover letter addresses, so I do not need to print them again. But, when I go to print the next group of letters, say 19 thru 40, ALL the sections ( or addresses 2-687) get loaded up again, and start printing the same pages over and over again, and I have absolutely no way of stopping this procedure

Is there any way that I can control the number of pages I want to print? Can I change the document so that I break up the sections into separate page numbers, so that the document shows Pages 1 thru 687, instead always showing Page 1, and then the different section numbers? What procedure must I follow? I've tried countless ways to deal with this problem, and nothing works! The ONLY way that I seem to be able to get 1 page printed for each single address is by going into "File", then opening "Print", then entering a dot in the "Current Page" section of the "Page Range" category, then hitting "OK". This produces the current page on the screen, but I have to repeat the process for each page. Obviously, this is VERY time consuming, and I'm sure there is a way to run off several pages, with differing page ranges, at a time, but my Word 97 instruction booklet does NOT explain it. Can anyone help me, as I'm desperate to get this job completed in time for my next mailing?
