= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, when you create a main document for ImageWriter multiple-column labels or for any LaserWriter labels, the DATA statement may appear at the top of every label except the first one.

= CAUSE =

Usually this problem is caused by copying and pasting whole groups of field names at once for multiple-column mailing labels because the DATA statement is also inadvertently copied.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for the Macintosh versions 1.x, 3.x, 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1. This problem was corrected in Word for the Macintosh version 6.0.

= RESOLUTION =

To correct this problem, delete the DATA statement at the beginning of each set of fields (in the main document) except for the first set.
