    Update Labels not working in Mail Merge


    I am trying to create a list of mailing labels via Mail Merge in Word 2016.

    I go to Mailings, Start Mail Merge, select the labels, select the recipients, via Outlook Contacts, set up the add the Address Block to the document and then I should be able to "Update Labels" and all of the "Labels" on the page should get an Address Block, however, nothing. If I click the "Preview Results", I can see the addresses, one at a time in the upper left corner of the document, but the addresses never get populated throughout the doc like they should.

    I'm out of ideas. I've done my google searches, and from what I've read, I'm doing everything correctly, but the doc just doesn't update like its supposed to do. I only do this about once a year, so it's possible that I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what it is.

    Thanks

    Daryl

  3. Avery Label Printing using word mail merge

    After many years of successful label printing my labels are missmatching down the page when printing. I am using Avery J8160 and Word mail merge using filtered Outlook contacts list. I have copied the merged file to my laptop which is connected to the same
    HPC8180 All in Printer and it works fine.

    Any clues please

    Word Mail Merge appending blank label to every legit label

    I've created a mail merge document drawing data from an Excel spreadsheet and merging to address labels to be printed from a Brother label printer. Everything formats and prints fine, except Word is appending a blank label to every record, as you can see below, which would cause me to waste a lot of labels if I proceeded with this. I'm unable to delete the paragraph mark on the blank label. I thought this might have something to do with the table layout, but I haven't been able to find any table formatting tools to play with. I used the Mail Merge Wizard to set this up. Thanks for any tips.
