[mso] Re: Word will not print labels correctly/Further thoughts

It's not clear from your message whether you now cannot print ANY good
labels from your merge file or whether it still prints good labels to a
certain point and then stops.

If it completely refuses to print the first line, re-create your main
document.   

I would also ask what is your data source (and is it, indeed, something
which you can inspect or edit), how much RAM you have available and what
your cache/temporary file settings are.  It sounds like a big run: how many
labels are involved? 

It would be off topic to discuss the amount of printer memory and what
method of printing you are using but often (on non-PS printers) memory
problems can be overcome by setting the printing method to RAW - it's many
years since I needed to do this, though.
