2007 Mail merge Directory Bug??? museumgirl 11/23/2008 9:45:00 PM I have considerable experience using Mail Merge, but am attempting to set up a directory which is simply <email address field>, so I can have a list of email addresses all on one page. When I complete the merge, I get a new document that has four email addresses on the first line, then nothing visible - at the bottom of the page it says there are 320 words (which is the number of email addresses I have in my excel document), but they are not on the page. Any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong or how to fix this problem?

RE: 2007 Mail merge Directory Bug??? museumgirl 11/23/2008 10:00:06 PM I've actually found the solution - for some reason, the emails will not show up in the "print layout", but if I go to "View" and switch to any other kind of view, they are all there. Any ideas about why this is happening - rather frustrating really.

Re: 2007 Mail merge Directory Bug??? "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 11/24/2008 6:07:05 AM The reason that it happens is because the only destination to which you can execute a Directory type mail merge is to a new document. -- Hope this helps.
