If the mail merge main document is changed to a catalog or directory type
mailmerge document, another row of labels will be added at the bottom of the
sheet. There is however only one table in the document, so the NSEW points
would not appear.
If the mail merge main document is changed to a letter type mailmerge main
document, and the Next Page Section Break that normally separates the pages,
somehow got changed to a Continuous Section break, then another row of
labels will be added to the bottom of the sheet and in this instance, that
row of labels is in a second table in the document so the NSEW points will
appear.

Another thing to check - if you bring up the Mail Merge Helper, does it
still say you are doing a label merge? If it had somehow changed to being
a Catalog merge, then it probably wouldn't do a page break after it had
merged each page. If there was space for a complete table row at the
bottom of the page, it would probably be added to the existing table.
Adding a section break might change that behaviour. However, that's a bit
far-fetched.
In any case, I don't really see how MailMerge can be cramming 21 rows onto
one page if they are the correct height to match your label stationery,
which suggests that there's still something wrong in the layout
department.

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.
