Default Why does the mail merge print a whole sheet of the same label?

Do you definitely have one { NEXT } field (use Alt-F9 to check) at the
beginning of each label cell except the first?

(It sounds as if you must, but please check anyway).

Which version of Word?

I have created a custom label, actually an A4 business card, for use as
name
tags at a conference. These are printed in portrait - the writing going
sideways - with additional designs added. When I do the mail merge, the
final
merged document has a whole sheet of the same name - a sheet of record 1,
then a sheet of record 11, etc.

I have tried the mail merge two different ways: In Word using an Excel
data
source and in Outlook after importing my contacts from the Excel data.
Both
ways I come up with the same problem. PLEASE HELP!!
