Okay....why do they have to change things when they work so well to start with. What do they say....if it ain't broke....? I am trying to merge labels 5162 using a Excel list. I am using Office 2003.

When I set up the merge I insert my fields from the Excel list on my labels and I get an entire sheet of the same label every time even though I've selected all the rows. No matter what I do, it won't run the merge right. Do you have suggestions....I could have typed them by hand faster than this merge is working!

When you are preparing your merge and inserting your fields, do you notice on every label (except the first label in the first column) that there is an additional field called "next record"? That needs to be there in order for the merge to pull all your records in. You may have inadvertently deleted that field thinking it wasn't needed.

See if that helps out.
