Default Mail merge labels with Word 2003 and Excel 2003 Data lost data

When merging data from an excel data source to word using mail merge for
labels, every 3 names (however, not consistent with this number) do not merge
to the labels. I have been working with Mail Merge for a while using the same
process and have not run into this before. I was trying to merge about 450
names and addresses and lost several. Any ideas?
Thanks

You are either using a Tablet PC which has real problems with label merges,
you are merging four labels to a page and have a NEXT RECORD field in the
first one or there is a problem with your data file - See

Not using a Table PC, NEXT RECORD not in first one, but will recheck the data
file. Thank you
