It's a little bit hard to tell from your post exactly what it is that you
are trying to do, but one thing is for sure, once you insert a Next Record
field in a document, you cannot get the data from the previous record to
appear in the document in a place that is after that Next Record field.
It maybe that you are trying to perform a "multiple items per condition
(=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do:
See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP

I feel so dumb... can anyone help?
I know quite a bit about mail merge, using them for about 10 years with no
problems.
I have a 20 page Word 2003 doc, which has some of the same database fields
repeated throughout, eg at the top of so many pages.
I also have a list of names, that are repeated twice in the document.
All the data is in a Word document, as a data source.
When I merge it, the first page merges nicely, and then if something is
repeated further in the document, it won't merge again - it just comes up
blank.
Ther merge fields are correct in the main document and I have used "Next
record" when appropriate in relation to the list of names.
Is Word 2003 able to produce such a document, or am I missing something?
Please help!
