Default Anyone know how to merge to labels?

Created a mail-merge to labels both in design and again via wizard steps and
it doesn't work

Each label includes next record but it starts page 2 with 2nd record, pg 3
with 3rd record, etc

Since the wizard creates this unusable document by default i assume it's a
bug - is there a work around?

You have to actually merge the document!

by that do you mean merge to doc/printer? - obviously a bit reluctant to
send 900 pages to the printer

does that mean that "view merged data" icon doesn't work properly (reflect
the actual merge)?

i got it! - when i'm in the pre-view mode i'm only incrementing by-record
whilst i only 'thought' i was incrementing by-page

the merge was created by our receptionist - she asked me since it didn't
look right & it fooled me too
