Default Directory Mail Merge w/Excel

I have a mail merge Word document set up as directory, as I have repeating
data for a single document. When the directory is merged, the first two
documents print the information as expected. Starting on the third document,
part of the merge data is off by one row. It is picking up partial data from
the subsequent row of the Excel spreadsheet. This causes the remaining
directory merged documents to be incorrect.

Does anyone have a suggestion for resolving this issue?

See fellow MVP Macropod's "Word 97-2007 Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge
Tutorial" at:

http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=731107

or

http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip

Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included
with it as you must get the mail merge main document set up exactly as
required.
