Mailmerged Label printed partly across pages

[jitin_21]

I am printing labels 4 down in an A4 Page, each label pagewidth wide. The labels contain brand and active ingredient contents of medicines.

In mailmerging of labels, it has been noticed that if the value in a field is long, it wraps around in the label. This results in the last label of the page being printed partly in the current page, and partly in a fresh page.

I want two things here, one, if a label cannot be accommodated in the current page, I want it to take the whole label in the next page, and
I want the next page to have a continuity of further labels being printed in the same page (without keeping the rest of the available space in the page blank).

Kindly help, anybody. But this is slightly urgent!!!

This sounds like a bug to me, since splitting a label across a page can never be correct.

It's hard to say how you might correct it. If your labels were in a table, you can specify that the table row should not break across a page, but you can't do that for the frames used in the standard labels.

It might help if you could post your document, as I can't reproduce the problem just typing text into a frame.

You say labels - but do you mean you are printing four records to a page, the space used being variable and then you cut this as needed.

If they are fixed size labels, then if the data was to large to fit on the last label of one sheet, why would it then fit on the first label of the next sheet?

Or perhaps you mean you want the data to flow between labels - but only on the same sheet?
