Autofeed after envelope merge?

D

Dennis

Going nuts trying to get envelopes to print automatically one after
the other after I do a merge. I am in Word2002. The records merger
over from the database okay. I just can't seem to find the right
settings to launch the printing.

First, I go to the document template. Then I click on Merge to Print
on the toolbar above. It asks about which records and I do that and
then the print dialog comes up and I put the record range to print in
there. And then hit Print.

It prints the first one but keeps notifying me that I need to load
paper in the manual tray. I have set the printer option on autofeed
and there are envelopes in the tray already. When I hit the continue
button on the notify box it prints without my adding envelopes
(because they were already there). I have tried placing in one tray
versus the other and selecting manual feed versus autofeed and so on.
I can't seem to find the formula.

How do I set it so that after the merge I just do a print and as long
as there are envelopes there it keeps printing all records until it is
done?

Thanks for any help.. I am beginning to go from crispy over to extra
crispy fiddling with this.

Open the envelope document that you are using for the merge and change Page
Setup > Paper > Paper Source from Manual to the tray where you have your
envelope stack. Then merge.

Thanks, gave it try but still stuck. It still keeps prompting me to
load paper into the tray and then when I click continue it feeds fine
because the paper was already there. Have to do this each time.

Any other thoughts? Thank you.
