Default Mail Merge {Next} command

Who ever told you to delete the { Next } command from the last label and add
it to the first was plain wrong. Doing that will result in the seventh and
eighth labels on the sheet being the same and you will not get a label for
the 1st, 9th, 17th, etc record in the data source.


See the article "Mail Merge to Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham
Mayor's website at

While trying to create a template for a membership card in QuickBooks
Customer Manager which creates a Word mail merge document, and I am using
Avery #5390 name badges with 8 cards to the page.
I have been unable to get the software to fill in all 8 cards on a page.
It
only fills in the top left hand card. I have added the {Next} command in
the
mail merge template and have tried it at several locations in the upper
left
catd, but as of now it has no affect.

When the template was first created after selecting the Avery #5309 there
was no {NEXT} comand in the card in the upper left corner, but it was in
the
other seven.

I've been told that I should delete the {NEXT} comand in the lower right
card and add it to the upper left card.

I have worked on this for hours with no results.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
