I have many section in my word file for using mail merge. i cant use page number in my document for that i want to have only one section. how can i would be appreciate help me how can i merge my sections to one section for using page number in file.
The execution of a letter type mail merge will result in the creation of a document having a Section Break between the "letter" containing the data for each record.
By default, the Section Break that is created by executing the merge, results in a Section in which the page numbers are formatted to begin at 1 rather than continue from the previous section.
If your mail merge main document has multiple sections, when you insert those Section Breaks, byu default, the page numbering in the new section will be formatted to continue from that in the previous section. So, you can still have page numbers in the document and when it is merged, as mentioned above, the page numbers will restart at 1 for each record.
If this explanation does not cover your issue, please explain it in more detail.
