Full Sheet Merge

[mkjays]

I've got word 2002. Use it for home use. Part of the Microsoft Works.

I don't use it much. I'm not an office person.

Recently I've volunteered on a school committee.

I created a merge and printed off some labels. The other members thought that wonderful.. For all the correspondence.

The secretary of the school and our association too, asked me if I could print off full sheets for various members of the association to use. I thought sure not a problem.

I thought it was gonna be easy. I can't figure out how to print merge all the data with full sheets. Each time I try it the next record performs. Is there a way to print merge from the data base. Or do I have to do each sheet one at a time?

I tried the avery label wizard also. It just does all the members in order on a sheet.

I hope I don't have to do each sheet separte. That would make alot of tedious cut paste work.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm having trouble understanding your question. You want to print a set of labels for others to use? I am also assuming that Works has a fully functional version of Word. I think that it does.

There are 3 documents in a Word merge- the form to be merged (if you use the Avery Wizard it will select the proper label and you only have to format one label with the merge info), the data to be merged, and finally the merged document. Are you merging to the printer? I never do this. I always merge to a new document and then print that.

Are you talking about full sheets of labels all containing the same name or containing a variety of names?

Incidentally, Word 2000 has the last mail merge that is easy to use. XP and 2003 reworked the mail merge. It is easier to use the newer versions if you display the Mail Merge toolbar.
