Default Unwanted section break Mail Merge

Word's form letter mail merge does not insert a section break if you merge
only one record from a data file, so either your section break is in your
template or your vba routine is inserting it.

Hi,
I am using Word 2003, Mail merging from a VB program. I have
predefined template in which some data is to be merged (Letter). Each
time only one record is to be merged from a data file.
I have a footer at the end of the page.
Now my requirement is to print the footer only on first page. I have
set the option in Page Setup.
But when i am done with MailMerge and new document is saved, it
inserts a new section break at the end. This section break
(continuous) takes extra space and a blank page is added with only
the footer.
Can anyone help me how to avoid this. I dont want the section break
at the end. There is only one record so no new doucments are to be
created for each record.

Thanks,
Adeel
