Default Label Counter Starting One Higher in the Next Page

My mail merge Label Doc prints 3 labels (with counter number) on each
standard letter size paper. I use the below Field embedded in the
label doc for the rec/label counter purpose.

1) for the first label
{ ASK start "Start number" \d "1" \o }
{ ASK start "Start number" \d "1" \o }{next}

2) for the 2nd/3rd label
{ ={ start } + { mergerec } - 1 } {next}


The mail merge operation runs OK, ending with a new doc of about 120
labels, each with own counter number.

The problem is the counter number starting on the next page. In the
same page, the counter numbers run consecutively, the new page would
skip one, starting at 2 higher from the end of the previous page.

What may be the problem, and how to resolve it?
