Mac Forum / Applications / Word / March 2006Printing Mail merge
I am having trouble with printing a mail merge. I am printing 500 letters and the print job starts over at about 170 pages and goes back to page one. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hi Whatever Your name Is: When you run your mail merge, it produces a single document with each letter separated by section breaks. It's the section breaks that are controlling the page numbers. Since you actually need only "one" section break for your purposes, use Find>Replace to search for Section Breaks and replace them with Page Breaks. Better still, use a specific style for the first paragraph in each letter. Set that style to have "Page Break Before" in its paragraph properties. Then search/replace the section breaks to "nothing" to remove them entirely. Your nominated style will begin a new page for each letter. Take a backup before you do this: search/replacing section breaks in a long document imposes a huge load on Word and it may crash once or twice.
