I am attempting to create bus cards / badges using mail merge and i am using
heavy graphics. I have followed all directions - step by step but when I
merge the labels are all creating the same name on one page and moving the
new record to the next page, creating whole pages of each name, i need one
badge, card of each name. What can I do to correct this - or make sure this
happens?

You need to insert a <<Next Record>> field before the first mergefield in
all labels on the sheet except for the first one.

This is a label merge - Don't try to put merge fields in text boxes. - see
