Default Extra Blank Pages when printing Merged Document

I have a merge form file which is three pages long, with headers on page 1
and page 2. To accomplish this I have checked the "Different odd and even"
and "Different first page" check boxes in the Layout Header and Footer
section of the Page Setup dialog box. When I merge my data into the form and
print the document I'm getting a blank page between each record. You can
also see this blank page in the print preview, but the Print Layout View does
not show any extra blank pages. I've checked the priter's separtor page
setting and if there are any extra line feeds or page breaks at the end of my
document, both negative. It seems that if I uncheck the "Different odd and
even" header check box the blank page goes away, but I do not get my header
on the second page of my document.

Is there a way to get rid of these extra pages?

I'm running Word 2003 on an XP PC.
Thanks,
Steve
