For no obvious reason, when merging records Word has suddenly started to draw
in only half the records selected for that merge (usually alternate records).
I'm merging into a directory using a single row table and putting 'Next
Record' after the data field in the final column. This has always worked -
but no longer.

Any ideas what is happening?

I believe the «Next Record» field is not needed in a catalog/directory-type
merge.

With a Directory type mail merge, you do not need the Next Record field.
Having that field in the main document is the reason that you are getting
only every other record.
