and none of the tricks seem to be working. Next Record is in labels 2-6, when
I hit Alt F9 I see {Next}, yet each sheet is six labels of each name in my
Excel roster. I have a graphic on the left side of the label and the merge
fields are within a text box on the right side of the label. I created the
first label and used the Update Labels button to populate the other labels.
What am I doing wrong? The help button for Word 2007 Mail Merge says that
when doing labels I will see the current record in label 1 and record 2 in
labels 2-6 but I don't see that. I see and print all six labels for each
record. That's 145 sheets. Please help.

I created a simple mail merge with no bells and whistles and it worked. So I
created another one with just a picture and it worked. It seems the problem
is putting the merge codes inside a text box which I did so that I could
control their placement. I ended up doing it with other means. Not elegant
but it works.
