Default labels thrown "out of whack" when cell or table margins changed? How to fix ... ?

wait a minute ... just noticed something ... I'll be danged. The last
table row at the bottom of the first page is actually the first table row
of a second table that should actually start on page 2. I had not seen
the square with the NSEW points before signalling the start of a table
because the mouse pointer must be in a certain spot over a table, as we
all know, and I hadn't mouse over any area in the table that would show
this before until now. I just inserted a page break between the two
"tables" and everything was fine.

So, what does this mean? Am I missing a break of some sort at the bottom
of my original Word template? Could it be something as simple as that??

I played around with this and ended up inserting a section break right
underneath the end of the table on the page of my original Word template.
That seemed to do the trick. Is this acceptable Word usage for this type of
thing? I'm asking because sometimes what we stumble upon doing is the best
way to do something and it might cause problems down the road in other
situations. Again, this seemed to do the trick. I'll test tomorrow by
adding pages of dummy info to the Excel file to get several sheets in the
merge and I'll see what happens then.

Thanks. D
