MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2004Cannot print more than one label at once
When I click "merge to printer" it only prints one label at a time. If I choose "update all labels" and choose "merge to printer" it prints two labels of one record. I also chose "complete the merge" then chose "merge to printer" still same thing. When I go to print preview I can only view one record if I do not choose "update all labels". If I choose "update all labels". I can view more than one record, however it is showing it printing two labels of the same record.PLEASE ADVISE!!! I don't have an answer to your question. I would suggest that you take a look at Cindy Meister's articles at http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Fields. You may find an answer there.

It sounds like you missed the step to replicate the mergefields to all of the labels on the sheet.

When I replicated the labels it put the same information on all other labels that were viewed. There should be a <<Next Record>> field in front of the first mergefield in all of the labels except the first on the sheet.

I need to create a catalog -- two records per page, 70 pp total. I use mail merge, trying it both as a catalog and as labels, followin directions (including to put Next Record field in front of 2nd record. Everything I have tried has failed. Results have included page 1 AA page 2 BB, etc. or AB, BC, CD, or AB CD BC DE, ad infinitim. Never ever has it worked, in many hours of concentrated effort. And I'm not novice Word user. I have to conclude that this feature does not work. One record pe page, yes. Or one page of records. But after page 1, no. If someone can demonstrate otherwise, I would like to see a explanation. I tried it in both Word 2000 and 2003 The easiest way to ensure two records per page is to create a label merge using a label format with two labels per page. Word will duplicate the required information in both cells. Where you appear to be going wrong from then on is that you are not completing the merge. You must merge to a new document or to the printer.
