Default Mail Merge Previews Wrong

I had an Avery Label Template that I was using in Word to create Name Tab
Labels (1 column, 2 to a page - small label sheets). When I merged from Excel
(using Graham's excellent directions with the Next Record field) and got
to the "Preview Your Labels" point, the labels appeard wrong in that the
first record was on label #1, the second record was on Label #2, and then the
second record showed again on Label #3, what was record number three showed
on Label #4, record number three showed again on Label #5, record number four
showed on Label #6, etc., etc., with the records on the second label of each
page repeating on the first label of the next page throughout the document as
I used the Next Recipient button to preview. When I went on to the "complete
the Merge" step and used the "Print" feature, they continued to print wrong,
with the repeated labels for each new sheet.

BUT - when I used the Edit the "Edit individual labels..." tool and
previewed the labels in a completed Word document, they were correct and
printed correctly. Go figure that one???
