Mail Merge duplicating entire page, then moving onto next label

Thank you for the fast response! The only static information are a couple of pictures, as well as some text that will stay consistent on each name tag. When I use alt-F9, I can see each field showing:

 My Name Is: {MERGEFIELD Name}  
 I Am Teaching With: { MERGEFIELD Partner}  
 I Am Also Teaching With: {MERGEFIELD Partner_2}  
 Our Room Is: {MERGEFIELD Room}

Each nametag also has the {Next} in the upper left corner. When I update labels, all the static text/images transfer over, as well as the merge fields, but still are only changing each page rather than each name tag.

Hi @Cameron Craft

Thanks for the detailed follow-up and great job checking the field codes! 

From what you described, it looks like the issue is with the field {Next}. In Word Mail Merge, the correct field to move to the next record is «NextRecord», not {Next}. 

1. In the first label, insert all your merge fields and static content (text/images). 
2. Click Update Labels this will copy the layout to all labels. 
3. Press Alt + F9 to view field codes. 
4. Make sure each label after the first begins with: 

{ NEXTRECORD }  

or shows as: 

«NextRecord»  

If you see {Next}, it may be a custom or incorrect field. 

1. If «NextRecord» is missing, you can manually insert it: 

• Place your cursor at the beginning of each label (except the first). 
  • Go to Mailings > Rules > Next Record. 
  1. Preview Results → each label should now show a different person. 
  2. Finish & Merge → Edit Individual Documents → verify that each page has 6 unique nametags. 

If the Avery 5392 template continues to misbehave, you can recreate the layout manually using a 3x2 table and insert merge fields directly. This gives you full control over formatting and field placement. 

Please feel free to reply below if you have any update or further concern. 

Best regards,

Thanks for the reply! I should have come back in and left another comment, but I (somehow) got it to work EoD yesterday! One thing I did want to mention, though, since it's been brought up a couple times, is that my computer was displaying {Next} even when I manually clicked on Next Record in the Rules dropdown menu. Not sure if there's some setting somewhere that got changed, but I suppose it's all good now!
