I can't seem to figure out how to get the address field to populate correctly.
I am using a 6up Avery label sheet and I am getting 6 identical send to
addresses per sheet as opposed to 1 address per label to give me 6 unique
addresses per sheet.
Please help I need to get this mailing out.

You need to have a <<Next Record>> field before the first mergefield in all
label on the sheet EXCEPT for the first label. That field would have been
inserted automatically if you use the Propagate Label button however, it can
also be inserted manually into each label by selecting it from the Word
Fields pulldown.

For more information, see the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on
