For some reason whenever I perform a mail merge, it does not merge correctly.
For example: If I'm merging a sheet of 30 labels, and merging with 2400
addresses, instead of having 2400/30 pages of labels, I have 2400 pages of
labels. Each page is the same as the one previous it, except it begins on
the second entry. Is there anyway to remedy this problem?

In the mailmerge main document, each label EXCEPT for the first label on the
sheet should have a <<Next Record>> field before the first mergefield in the
label.

Change the document type to mailing label then propagate the labels -
