"Printing Address Labels" on page 160 describes what I have done, and 
I've tried several variations.  I've also been careful to be sure the 
next record field is present.  After clicking the "Data in Fields" 
icon, I still only get one page, either saved or printed.  Even 
stranger, it is now only using every other record from the data source, 
even though I have selected all records.

Regarding Keith's suggestion of using the Mail Merge feature, I assume 
this will work, but I'm trying to understand why the "Data in Fields" 
approach does not work.  Printing to file does create all pages, but 
each page is saved as a separate file.
