Office 2000, Word stapler issue with Minolta Pi-5501 + FN-105. A Minolta Di-450 with a Pi-5501 embedded controller can staple documents as long as it are multipage copies (doublesided or not doesn't matter) from Word 2000 with the FN-105 finisher. Also multiprints of that multipage document can be stapled fine without any issues. However when printing a "Mail-Merge-Letter" (I think its called so in English), meaning a Word document containing individual names and addresses merged into that Word document out of a database such as Excel, it cannot be stapled although that Word document has more than one pages. I tried all thinkable setting and several drivers as well but no way. I recall remotely that in the past I've heard about such issues with Word. Question: Is it indeed a Word based problem or could it be the driver/settings of the machine too. Any workarounds known please? Hans

This is definatly a word problem. You will need a macro in word to fix this.

Thanks, what macro? Hans

I don't have it I have seen it. It will send down multiple jobs rather than one big one.
