Macro Mail Merge

[RAxel]

I'm curious as to how complex a macro can get. I'm making a macro for a mail merge and getting an error. These are the steps I'm doing:

1. Tools -> Letters and Mailings -> Mail Merge
2. Click Envelope radio button
3. Click Next: Starting Document
4. Click Change document layout radio button
5. Click Envelope options...
6. Leave everything as default and click OK
7. Click Next: Select recipients
8. Click Select from Outlook contacts
9. Choose Contacts Folder... I choose the contact folder in my mailbox, then click Select All, then click OK
10. Click Next: Arrange your envelope
11. Click the middle of the envelope and then click Address Block
12. Leave it as the default and click OK
13. Click Next: Preview your envelopes
14. Click Next: Complete the merge


Now, I could end it here, but I went ahead and hit the print button and changed some settings there to make it even more automated. The place where I'm getting the error is when the <<Address Block>> appears on the screen. What is weird is that the <<Address Block>> should appear AFTER the layout has changed to envelope, but it doesn't. And the <<Address Block>> appears on the top left of the screen, not in the middle where it is supposed too.

Finally, the layout doesn't change to the correct envelope layout and I don't believe Word grabs the contacts from Outlook and that's where I believe the error occurs. Any help is appreciated.

I suppose a follow up question would be, if there are multiple contact selections, is there some vba code that will actually print out every <<Address Block>> from the 1st record to the last record?
