I am trying to print labels from a database table to a template for
mailing labels I have followed the instructions from OOo help

7.Place the cursor at the last text position (after the last field)
in the first label.
8.Choose Insert - Fields - Other, and go to the Database tab.
9.Select the type Next record, click on Insert and then on Close.
10.You can now synchronize the labels. Click on the Synchronize
Labels button in the small window.
11.In the data source view, select the records for which you would
like address stickers, by clicking on the row headers to the left.
Use the Shift or Ctrl key in the usual way to select several records
at the same time.
12.On the Table Data bar, click the Data to Fields icon.

When I get to step 10 I get only one page of records with all the
same information.
I have tried step 11 and 12 but get the same result I have 4,018
more records selected.
When you get to step 10, you shouldn't expect to see your data
populating the labels, since you don't select the records you need
until step 11 or insert them until step 12. The field names you see
at step 10 *should* be the same on each label. If, when you get to
step 12, you see many copies of one record from your database instead
of one copy of each of many records, then you have not properly
carried out steps 7, 8, and 9. It is these steps that cause the
synchronisation at step 10 to enable different records to appear on
each label. Are you perhaps missing clicking on Insert at step 9?
I trust this helps.
