Default trouble with mail merge

created a mail merge table from excel into access. exported to word for mail
merge.
every time I get to the "select recipients", all it shows on each label
(creating file folder labels) is "next record". The actual infomation is not
there. I have tried it numerous ways but get the same each time.
I have mail merged before and it worked, what the heck am I doing worng?

What you do is insert the field(s) you need in the first label in the sheet,
then use the "Propagate labels" option in the Wizard to copy the contents of
the first label to all the others (Word leaves a { NEXT } field in each
label except the first). Then complete the merge.
