I am trying to create a mail merge document in Word using an Excel file as my
database. Everything seems to work fine, labels look good, all the info is
there. Except I only get 1 page of labels and there should be 10 pages.

You have just previewed (and printed the preview) of one page of labels. To
get all of the labels, you must execute the merge.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, Doug. That was very helpful. That must have been what I accidently
did after posting my plea for help. Now, for next time, I will know what,
exactly, I am supposed to do.
