Tablet PCs have problems with merging labels - aside from that see

That is exactly what I have a Gateway tablet laptop. I looked at the links
and didn't see anything specific to mail merge. Are you telling me that I
will always have to foward my list to another computer to print the lables?

An issue concerning Tablet PCs and the merge printing of labels has been
raised a number of times in the mail merge forum. I cannot quickly find a
reference and I am not aware of any fix. If all the labels appear correctly
on screen and when the display is toggled (ALT+F9) you have a NEXT record
field at the start of each label but the first, you could try changing the
document type to form letter (letters) from the mail merge toolbar (see
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm ) and run the merge
again.

I will see if I can find a reference to the problem and if I do I will post
back.
