MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2005First Record's Letter Missing after Letter Merge
I am using Word 2002. After I merge a letter from either Excel or Access, my first record is missing from the merged document, i.e., if I tell it to merge records 1 through 10, the merged document contains letters for records 2 through 10. This occurs whether I use the edit mail merge recipients list, and only check records 1 thru 10, or whether I select "merge to new document" on the toolbar and tell it to merge from 1 to 10. BTW, there are no NEXT or NEXT RECORD fields in the main document. Why is this?? Does your data file use the first record as a header?

In the Excel spreadsheet, the first row was the field labels (First Name, Last Name, etc.). I no longer use that document, by the way. I imported the data into an Access database, so the data now comes from a select query that is linked to the main merge document. But merging from either datasource produced the same problem. > Does your data file use the first record as a header? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > Why is this??

And if you let it merge ALL records? Are you able to VIEW the first record in the main merge document?
