I'm using an existing file (from excel) and when I make the labels, the names
are being repeated over and over again! No matter how many times I retry it,
they repeat.

In the label mail merge main document, you need to have a Next Record
field before the first mergefield in all of the labels on the sheet EXCEPT
the first one.

See the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
website at
