hi,

This is a quick question, hopefully sombody can help with this. or tell me
I'm being stupid! ( I prefer stupid!)

I have been handed thousand of sheets of preprinted stationary, the
preprinted part is the Letter and the 'Dear' part of the saluation. I have
been set a task to print on the address and the other part of the saluation
i.e 'Mr Jones' from a mail merge

My problem is the saluation 'Mr jones' is not lining up with the 'Dear'
preprinted part sometimes. If you perform the same mail merge multiple times
the 'Mr Jones' appears is different posistion, we are talking at most 3mm
difference. The whole document appears to be knocked out slightly although
the first line of the address appears to be postioned exactly the same

I know the simplest solution is to remove the 'Dear' from the preprinted
form and put it on the mail merge stuff, Guess the responce I got from my
Boss!!

My first thoughts is the printer is not loading the paper exactly( we are
talking mm here). I have tried it on other printers and it appears to be OK.
I have also tried on the printer in Question, printing out the same word
document (minus the mail merge) and it appears to print OK on the printer.
The Question I'm getting at is, I'm informed it must be somthing in the
software! why I don't Know! but is there any issues with mail merging, which
might alter the position, slightly of a mail merge field on a word document

Thanks in Advance

Supreme
