Word 2010 Mail Merge: Records Only Merge to One Cell (top left) of Multi-Cell per Page, Multi Page Merge Document

I am merging contact information to cards (Avery template from Word selection) that are laid out two across five down.  I have entered my MERGEFIELDS in the top left cell of the document, selected recipients from the source, etc. and conducted the merge.  Every tenth record merges correctly into the top left cell of each page of the document, but no merged data appears in any of the remaining 9 cells on the page. 

Is there a general strategy on how to troubleshoot a problem like this? 

Answer
Answer

After you set up the merge fields in the top left cell, click the Update Labels button to duplicate the fields in all the other table cells that contained only «NextRecord» fields.

The only thing the  «NextRecord» field does is move the record pointer in the source to the next record; it doesn't produce any visible result in the merge.
