I am running Word that came with the Works 2003 suite. I installed
the Mail Merge Helper via View - Toolbars - Customize - Commands
- All Commands, and went about trying to create sheets of mailing
labels choosing Mailing labels as the type of main document I wanted.

The data source is Works database (but I have also exported the data
to a comma separated file and used that as the data source).

The database contains 18 records (the first person being Adair, the
13th Burridge).

When I click on the Merge button, all I end up with is a document in
two sections (and as it happens two pages). The first label (cell)
on the first page has the label for Adair and the rest of the 11
labels (cells) on the page are blank. The first label in the second
section has the label for Burridge and all the remaining 5
labels/cells in the section are blank.

When I create a Form letter, using the same database, and do the merge
it runs through perfectly producing 18 Form letters as required.

Can someone advise me what I need to do to get the Mailing labels
merge working properly?
