Hi Suzanne,
FWIW, the necessity/placement of the «Next Record» field is one of the
greatest mysteries of mail merge to me.
Mostly, it's necessary when doing a Label merge, or any kind of merge
where you want to move to the next record before the page breaks, and you
don't want a catalog/directory merge. With a catalog/directory merge the
page's content is repeated for each record without forcing a page break.
