Why do I get the following message? My document was 55 pages of labels and after hitting the "YES" box over 30 times... they finally printed.

We have a high-end printer an it's only 2 months old....(Nauticon 27873)

We use Avery 5160 labels....maybe it's time to check out your software.

    Doug's solution is good as a quick fix for a merge output that already exists. To avoid having to do that in the future, DO NOT use the 5160 "template" (actually a document) downloaded from the Avery site.

    The Label Options dialog that Word displays when you click Start Mail Merge on the Mailings ribbon lets you select the 5160 label type, whose data is built into Word.

    When you use this definition, Word's internal programming tells it to ignore the margin settings that would otherwise cause the message you had to deal with.

    If your document full of labels was created without using the mail merge feature, you can convert it to a mail merge data source by the procedure in https://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels_into_mail_merge.htm. That will make it much easier to edit, add, or remove entries in the future.

    The fault is with the Avery template. Go to the Page Setup dialog and change the bottom margin from 0" to say 0.3"

    Thank you for your prompt response. We were using the "Mailing" set-up and after speaking with other colleagues (who have the same issue), we determined that we just need to bit the bullet and depress the "Yes" response at least 15 times....
