MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2005No pages, only sections???
I just performed a merge with a couple of documents both with a sinlge page containing a single table. The merge should produce 18 pages. However, when I place the cursor in an page, the page always shows as Page 1 in the Word Status Bar. Each page shows as a different Section (18 in all). If I go to the print dialog, I am able to select to print only the current page and it does indeed only print the page that the cursor is on, but why do I not see all the different pages in the Status Bar? Any ideas? TIA Paul Lautman What you have produced is a merged document containing 18 sections, each of one page. Each section corresponds to an individual form letter. You can select sections for printing by putting the section numbers in the print pages box e.g. s1-s3  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > I just performed a merge with a couple of documents both with a > sinlge page containing a single table.

The document will look the same, only the status bar page indication will be different.

You'll want to have a page break at the end of the merge form since this will create a single document.
