Printing only envelopes with Mail merge /no letters included

[Madelyn]

I am trying to do a mail merge & print envelopes but I keep getting what
appears to be letters included in the printing. Every 3rd one is an
envelope, how do I eliminate the letters & get just envelopes.

I assume that you have added the envelope to the mail merge main document
which was of the formletter type.

Probably best to set up a separate mail merge just for the envelopes, using
the same data source. In the first step of the mail merge process, select
Envelope as the type of merge that you want to perform.

You may however be able to print just the envelopes if you have executed
your present merge to a new document and you run the following macro to do
the printing

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count Step 2
.PrintOut Background: = False, Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" &
i, _
To:="s" & i
Next i
End With

Vista is not the issue. What version of Word are you using?
