Default Skip 1st Record in Merge when Merging To Attendee Roster & Nam

If Doug's suggestion does not work and the files when zipped are small
enough to e-mail, send them to the link on the home page of my web site and
I will have a look over the weekend.

Hi Graham, I just checked and no I don't have a "next record" on the
first entry. Would you like to see both my badge and directory
template as well as the Excel file?

You probably have a Next record field where one is not required.

I export my records into Excel and see that it is does not print a
record in the first place where a record should appear on the
attendee roster (directory), it does however, insert Phone: and
Email: I'm willing to work with this as I only need to delete those
two words and the directory is fine.

But my merge will not print the first record on the name badge. It
placed it in the 2nd place of the name badge.

I was plagued with skipping records last year, and I pulled a new
Avery badge template from my version at home and bought it to work
and the skipping of records stopped.
