Mail merge document doesn't print anything except the merged data

I am printing numbered tickets (10 per page).  I have a mail merge document that includes text boxes and graphics as well as the merge data (numbers 1 - 600).  Everything looks good on the screen but on print preview or print all I get is the merged data.  None of the text boxes or graphics appear.  If I convert the text boxes to text then they will show up along with the merge data but the graphics never show up.  I've used this same document for years and never had a problem until now.

Go to File|Options|Display and make sure the 'print drawings created in Word' and 'Print background colors and images' options are checked. Also go to  File|Options|Advanced>Print and make sure the 'Draft Quality' option is unchecked.
