Default Mailmerge problem

I am doing a simple mailmerge to six lables on a self made form. I have the
data in a single column in an excel spreadsheet. I added the merge field
"Name" and "next record" in each label on the page. The problem comes when I
merge the document. It appears to leave off one name per page. Is there
some command I need to tell the program to start a new page and not loose a
data name. I have 147 names in the data file and am only receiving 126
labels. Any suggetions.

Remove the Next record from label 1. Word automatically moves tot the
next record each time it processes the "label sheet".

-- Deleting the "next Record" from the first label in the master document
corrected some of my problem. It seems now I am still missing one data
sequence per page. It seems to be skipping over one when it goes to the next
page. Is there some command that I need to enter so that when a new page is
created and filled that I don't loose a recipient?

Where do you have the Next Record fields? The correct place is to have one
before the first mergefield in each of the labels in the mail merge main
document except for the first label.
