OMG!!! appearantly the merge knows to goto the next record and I do not need
to insert the rule <next record> I just assumed their was something corrupt in
the spreadsheet since the source was super old and had been handled by many
people. Previously when I did a merge you had to tell Word to goto the next
record I guess in 2007 it's smarter? so I didn't need to state the obvious. I
have spent probably 15 hours trouble shooting this and even created a work
around where I inserted blank rows between each of the existing rows. I just
redid the merge with the original data without the <next record> rule and it
was perfect. Thanks so much for your advice. I t was only as I mulled your
email over in my head in the car (I know weird) that it occurred to me that
perhaps I did not need to tell it <next record>Â Wow - thanks again.

See if you have a "next Record" command somewhere and delete it. Â Only
delete one of these.
It will be invisible. Â If you select all the text in the document, right
click, and click Toggle Field Codes you will see something like
{NEXT \* MERGEFORMAT}
