Hi, I have an appilcation that allows me to merge patient data to msword through a template. No matter what template I use when i try to merge from this application to word it merges with the template on page 1 and the template with the merged fields on page 2. I only want page 2 to merge. Its really frustrating and I need to delete page 1 and bring page 2 up. I have other machines that merge fine but its one machine that plays up. Its using office 97 and windows 98se. Please help i have tried reinstalling office but to no avail. What could this be?

i can't really figure out what you are saying here. pages are breaking differently on this problem machine? look at the page setup in Word on the bad boy. paper source. is there an inkjet printer attached? try another printer driver to see if it affects...(like, the one the good machines are using?) you won't be able to print, but print preview for a test? maybe you can try a custom paper size, fake out Word that it has smaller sheet than normal, see what happens...?
explain more and we can help maybe...
