Default Word leaving out names and addresses when merging labels

When I merge labels in Word and use Excel as my table, I am not getting all
the labels merged. Whether I merge 6 to 250 names and addresses I am
noticing that Word will leave off two to 15 records and I must check off and
ensure everything is correct. Is there a fix so that I do not have to do
double duty.

You probably have a Next Record field where one is not required. There
should be such fields before the first mergefield on all labels in the mail
merge main document setup EXCEPT for the first label on the sheet.
