Word 2003: Only one page of labels shows up/prints

[Vicki]

Operating system: WinXP

When I try to do a mail merge in Word to make sheets of mailing labels (size
5160, it looks like it works fine, except there is just one page of labels.
Does anyone know why it won't merge more than the first 30 labels? Or if it
is merging them, where they are going and how I get them back?

Process: Go to Tools | Letters and Mailings | Mail Merge
Then "Edit recipient list"
Then edit the list to make it accurate (add new ones, delete obsolete ones).
Close that part and in the window labeled "Mail merge recipients" I click OK.

The sheet of labels is already formatted, so next I get a page of labels. I
have more than thirty names and addresses, so only the first 30 show up. The
rest are just not there.

Thanks for any help.

You have not performed the final step of executing the merge.
