Word mail merge stupidity
-
So I wanted to print a lot of personalised labels. Set up the mail merge (using an Excel file for the data) and hit print. Then I remembered what happened last time I did this ... (I should point out that I had to select the "Edit individual pages" option as there were a couple of funnies to sort out before printing e.g. one name was too long to fit the label so just needed to tweak it.) So, I then get the "Some of your margins are very small. Would you like to carry on?" message. However, it then generated this for every page and I had to sit there clicking "Yes" 85 times before it would print. Hrmmpphhhh.

I have not had to do this, thankfully, for over 5 years now, if not more. After reading your post, it brought back fond memories of mail merge labels and envelops...not. :)
