I am trying to print some envelopes with word 2003 and I can't get the merge function to work properly.

I am using csv data with headers. Word sees the files and displays them sorted correctly. When we execute the merge, all the labels and envelopes have the same msg : <<Next Record>>

I don't know where this is coming from, but word shows the correct formating when I select the recipient source.

Any help would be appreciated.

Note that I'm uncertain what you mean when you say "execute the merge", so I'm not sure where you're
seeing this. But <<Next record>> is correct at the beginning of each label *while viewing the main
merge document*. Shouldn't be on single envelopes, though.

Go to Tools/Options/Print and uncheck the box for "field codes" if you're seeing this on a
print-out.
