Are you sure that you are not missing some Next Record fields. They are
required before the first mergefield in all labels other than the first
lable on the sheet.

This is a nightmare. I'm trying to set up a mailing, so queried our DB,
and exported the data into excel 2003. I verified that there are no
duplicate records in the excel spreadsheet (which I am using for my mail
merge labels). When I create the labels, Word magically creates duplicates
of some of the labels. It appears to be creating duplicates of random
labels, but there may be a pattern. I haven't figured it out yet. Has
anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know the solution?

I know the problem is not with my data source, and I'm pretty sure I'm
doing mail merge right (though it is a lot more counter-intuitive than it
was in previous versions of word)

Any help would be appreciated
