Re: all page numbers became 1 after mail merge "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 6/8/2007 5:14:57 AM A letter mail merge will create a series of sections one for each document, each with the numbering starting from 1. This is normal behaviour. If you want a continuous document then change the document type to Directory and re-merge or remove the section breaks (not page breaks). -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> kang wrote: [Quoted Text] > after mail merge all the page number became 1. > I want the page is continous. > I tried delete all the page break by replacing "^b" with "". > but can't find any page break. > > help me please.

Re: all page numbers became 1 after mail merge "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 6/8/2007 6:53:09 AM A merge document can be one of three basic types - letter (yours), directory, or mailing labels. Other merge documents are variations on these three types. From the mailmerge toolbar (first button) - select the document type, see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm With earlier Word versions you can change the document type from the mail merge helper where Directory is referred to as Catalog. With Word 2007 click Start Merge from the Mailings tab, with your merge document on screen and change the document type to Directory. If you have already merged, use the replace tool to replace ^b with ^m in your merged document which will remove the section breaks and replace them with page breaks (or replace with nothing to remove the breaks completely). -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> kang wrote: [Quoted Text] > thanks Graham. > what do you mean by "change the document type to Directory and > re-merge"? > > Graham Mayor wrote: >> A letter mail merge will create a series of sections one for each >> document, each with the numbering starting from 1.

Re: all page numbers became 1 after mail merge kang <kang[ at ]hao.com> 6/8/2007 10:34:18 AM mail merge makes sections for every row so , for example, if the record row is 100, then I have to do that for 100 times.

Re: all page numbers became 1 after mail merge "Peter Jamieson" <pjj[ at ]KillmapSpjjnet.demon.co.uk> 6/8/2007 11:10:51 AM If you know every section will only have one page, you can use the { SECTION } field instead of the { PAGE } field to number your pages with a "Letter" type merge.

Re: all page numbers became 1 after mail merge "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 6/9/2007 8:12:29 AM Or use a catalog or directory type mailmerge and format the first paragraph in the main document to have a page break before it. -- Hope this helps.
