There are three principle types of merge available to Word
- Letter , which puts everything pertaining to the record on a new page
- Directory, which puts repeats everything on the page immediately after the
previous record
- Labels, which puts each record in the next cell of a table.
Normally only the label merge uses the next record field.
If you want each record on a new page. Set the document type to 'Letter'.
Word cannot readily mix merge types.
