I wasted hours searching the web for an answer. If you don't use address block and just use INSERT all of the fields then I did not run into the problem. I don't know if there is a capability to modify ADDRESS BLOCK so you can suppress the blank lines. Darcy Fiona –

How can I get it to include enough pages for all of the name in my address list? Please help.

Heather, it's a one-minute deal in Windows 98, also, and goes bad in XP. The MS people keep trying to dumb things down for the masses only to screw up royally what used to work. For the missing labels, did you try using the little arrows on the MailMerge bar to page over?

I made sure all the names were selected in my data source. I went back and carefully did it again. What am I missing? By the way, this is a one minute deal on Office 98 on a mac, but on PC I've spent hours and been though tons of websites that don't help a darned bit to figure out how to get the address block in the right order on the label. So thanks for that. Heahter I used this and it worked like a dream but created only one page of labels when I should get 23 or so, it’s 300 some names.

I kept cancelling my wizard because I didn't want to merge to printer without verifying that the file was right, but apparently that was the missing piece. I still am stubborn about doing it my way, so I do a Merge to New Document from the MailMerge toolbar instead, and that also fixes the problem. Thank you, Jerry.
