This article was previously published under Q105096 SYMPTOMS
If you use the Find Record button on the Print Merge toolbar (to search for
a record in your mail merge data file), the search fails, and the following
error message appears if only the first data record meets the search
criteria:
Word has finished searching the database. The search item
was not found.
If another record, in addition to the first, also meets the search
criteria, Word for Windows finds the first data record.
WORKAROUND
Add a blank record as the first data record in your datafile. This blank
record will immediately follow the Heading Record (Row) of your datafile.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Word versions listed
above. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
as it becomes available.
