When I click Update all Labels in the Mail Merge wizard, only the top row
updates, and the preview labels only shows addresses in the top row of
labels, not surprisingly. How can I get Word to actually update the whole
page?

TIA;

Amy

Could you point me to the part where any of this solves the "Update All
Labels" or "Propagate Labels" button on the toolbar not propagating to all
labels on the sheet? This just seems to me to be general instructions on
doing a merge without using the wizard. But maybe I'm just not reading
carefully enough?

Thanks;

Amy

Are you using a TabletPC? If so, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898630

Yes, I am. Thanks...I would never have thought that would be the issue.

Yes, that had a few of us stumped for quite a while and it took quite a
while for Microsoft to recognise that there was a problem. Thanks to the
persistence of MVP Peter Jamieson, it was finally recognised and the
Knowledge Base article to which I refered you was published.
