531924 2007-03-11 06:45:00 I have created a Word File from a database in other software I use.
The total Word file consists of 200 pages (50 four page documents to be sent to the 50 people).
When I send it to my printer (Canon IR2200i ) to staple it, it treats the document as one document and staples the whole 200 pages.
Obviously I would like it to print 4 pages and staple , the next 4 pages and staple etc.
Does anyone have a solution?

531925 2007-03-11 08:25:00 At a guess, the non-stapling will have more to do with the printer or it's software than the word doc. Perhaps you have to tell it (the printer) to staple every 4 pages rather than every document because it can't see that you have merged 50 in to 1 (unless there is a function in Word that can communicate that fact, sorry, I no longer use Word in favour of OOo).

Just in case someone happens by that's in the know, what version of Word?

At first blush, Id take the last 46 pages from the original document out of the file, save it as something similiar. You then have the 4 pages you want in the Mail Merge to proceed with and send to the printer.

HTH
