Finish/Merge; only half records of linked file actually merge?

[Tinkerbell]

I have just printed a mail out using word.

The selected recipients total is 1204 records, which all appear in Preview
Results, however when I Finish and Merge ALL only 602 records work. (Exactly
half)

Upon investigating the file I noticed that each alternate record has not
worked.

There must be a simple reason for this.

Please assist me - My goal is now to recover the remaining records. I will
use edit recipient list (I wonder what will happen).

Almost certainly, you have a <<Next Record>> field in the mail merge main
document where no such field is required.

Locate and remove that field and then try executing the merge again.
