Mail merge not including all records on print

[Boppy]

Hi guys, I've spent months trying to get a greeting card template to
work properly with Mail Merge Office 07.

I have created an A4 page with 1 column and 2 rows: this is an image
of my setup: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/403824/word merge fault.jpg

No matter how many records I select, I never get a merged doc with all
records included. In today's exercise, I chose six records, ensured
they all appeared under Preview then hit "merge to new doc". Only four
of them came through.

If I create a template with one record per page, it's fine - all
records come through, but then I have to muck about deleting the page
break to fit two on a A4 page. Surely if I can merge address labels 20
to a page, a merge file with 2 to a page shouldn't be too hard.

What am I doing wrong? Please help me sort this out?

thanks in advance,
Jo

Ignore - have resolved this.

Delete the <<Next Record>> field from the second row. Or better, move it
before the first mergefield in that row and delete it from the first row.

Remove the next record field from the end of the page. There should only
be one next page field between the two layouts.
OR
Remove the second layout and the next record fields altogether and
change the document type to Directory.
