I'm creating a mail merge document. I've followed all the steps including
creating a new recipient list. When I come to preview the letters the
address block has some of the lines repeated - address line 1 and post code
(zip code). I can't seem to alter this without individually editing every
letter which is time consuming and doesn't appear to be how the mail merge
tool is suppossed to work.

Don't use the address block. Just insert the merge fields that you want to
use in the configuration that you want them.
