Default How can I create Spine Labels in a mail merge doc?

I have downloaded the Spine Label template and created the data source.
However, there are 5 or so spine labels to a page (you print and cut the page
into individual labels). I cannot get the merge function to recognize each
label as a separate label, ie to print 5 DIFFERENT records per page rather
than repeated 1 record 5 times. I tried continuous section breaks but that
didn't work either.

You need to insert a Next Record field before the first mergefield in
all but the first label in the mailmerge main document.
