Hi Lisa -
I had something like this happen and I had my "next
record" commands in the wrong places. I was a bit rusty
and was putting "next record" before each word merge
command for example - in each label cell I had:
Next record <name>
Next record <address>
Next record <city,st,zip>
Instead of:
Next record <name>
<address>
<city,st,zip>
Merge was a mess -- I forgot that word looks from row to
row. Just a thought that you might be doing the same
thing!-- Of course your first label cell you would not
have "next record".
take care & good luck!
