I am not sure how you created the mail merge main document, but normally it
would have had a Next Record field before the first merge field on all of
the labels on the sheet except for the first label. You can manually insert
such a field via the Rules icon in Word 2007 or, if I remember correctly via
the Insert Word Fields item in Word 2003.
It might however be quicker to just start again.

...
In Word 2003 or 2007, when I merge an Excel .xls spreadsheet into mailing
labels, I get far too many labels. On the first page of labels, I get
Records
1-30; on the second page pf labels, I get Records 2-31, etc., until I get
to
the last page, which only has the last record on it.
I know this must be a simple fix, but I am unable to discern my error. I
think I have been following the directions meticulously, but obviously
not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
