Sorry for the double post. But I have "somewhat solved" my problem; by getting rid of the frames and inserting the fields into the main body of the document and using 2-column page layout, I could generate the document with the addresses. There only remains one problem: The status bar tells me there are 5 pages in the document (which is correct: 54 entries in the database, 12 records/page). There are however only 2 pages visible: page 2 and 4. When the cursor is on the first visible page in the document (which should be page 2) it says "1/5" and when placed on the second visible page (which really is page 4) it says "3/5". The other 3 pages are never visible and I can't find a way to print them. I can't change to them using the navigator. If I put the lot of 5 pages in the template document, the 5 pages get filled correctly by the wizard, so I already managed to print the document and the aggro is gone ;) I would however prefer to resolve this issue, as it might probably be a major bug in the Mail Merge Wizard and my solution isn't really any solution at all only a dirty workaround. I already tried this with only 1 column, but the result is the same: every odd page becomes unavailable in the result document, so the multi-column page layout seems to drop out from the list of possible causes.
