I have a document has one table that's formatted as labels. I'm trying to
creating a mail merge for the labels. I have my data sources created with a
listing of all the different values I wanted populated on the labels. When I
merge my data source into my main document i'm only getting one value per
page (the one value printed 8 different times), instead of getting the first
8 records on one page then the next 8 records on the next page, etc.

You need to insert a <<Next Record>> field before the first merge field in
all of the labels on the sheet EXCEPT the first.
