It sounds like you have a Next Record field where one is not required.

I have an Excel database with 86 names, etc. I've created the merge
document
and while I can view all 86 names in the preview feature, once I complete
the
merge to a new document I'm getting only half the names.

Also, even though I sort the names in the recipients list, mail merge is
not
sorting them once I complete the merge.

Can anyone help?
