I have a user who was just upgraded from office 200 to office 2003.  He
routinely runs mail merge for upwards of 1,000 - 30,000 labels at a time.  
Now that he is on office 2003 mail merge runs extremely slow.  Has anyone
ever seen this before?  Maybe a fix?  Thanks a ton.

I am trying to make labels in Word using Mail Merge. The data I want to
import is in an Excel spreadsheet. I follow all the steps exactly, but when I
get to the print preview I have only a blank sheet. There is no data on the

words).  When I merge it into a Word document, most of this text disappears.  
Is there a way around this, or is it an inherent limitation?
Thank you!
