mail merge

I am using Windows XP and Office 2007 Home & Student version.
I have been trying to use mail merge to produce a directory, I can follow
through to the end OK.

BUT

When I 'preview' the results all the records are shown, and I can preview
them.

However when I then go to 'Finish & Merge'; select 'all records' and 'merge
to new document' not all the records are merged.

Which records are missing? Is there any kind of pattern?

What is the data source?

If you have a Next Record field anywhere in the mail merge main
document, you should delete it. For a directory type mail merge, you only
need one set of the merge fields (plus any other text that you want repeated
for EACH record in the data source.)
