Default Missing Mail Merge Label

Hi

I wonder if anyone can please point me in the right direction with this one.

Using Office 2003, I've created a set of 2x7 labels using Word Mail Merge
fed from a data source in an Excel spreadsheet.

The odd thing is that between every sheet of labels one record goes missing
i.e. between the last label on sheet x and the first on sheet x+1, a record
exists but no label is produced. Everything else works perfectly!

Can anyone suggest why this might be happening please? I've tried everything
I can think of!

Thanks,

V

Default Missing Mail Merge Label

Too many «Next Record» fields.

Thanks. You may well be right but how do I fix this? At present each label
has next record at the top of it but even using the find facility I
cannot find any extra ones hidden on the page? So where is the extra one
coming from and how do I get rid of it please?

Default Missing Mail Merge Label

The first one on the sheet does not need it. If you look at a labels mail
merge main document as constructed by Word's Mail Merge Wizard or Mail Merge
Helper (or by using Propagate Labels on the MM toolbar), you will see that
this is the case.
