Every time I perform a 10 label-per-page mail merge, the 11th imported
address goes missing. In other words, there is a "missing" 11th address
between every two pages of labels. I'm desperate for help!

Make sure the /first cell/ in your mail merge main documnet does not have a
{ NEXT } field (use Alt-F9 to toggle between the view were you see { NEXT }
and the view where you see <<Next record>> )

This is because you probably have the <<Next Record>> field after the merge
fields rather than before the merge fields on each label. There should be a
<<Next Record>> field before the first merge field in each label in the
mailmerge main document, EXCEPT for the first label on the sheet.
