Default Merge won't stop printing

Setup:
Word 2003
Excel 2003
Oki Microline 320 dot matrix printer using continuous fan fold forms for labels

Problem #1: I set up a mail merge using an Excel database. It works fine until printing gets to the end of the data. Labels keep printing. They show field titles with no data. I have to manually shut off the printer to stop printing. An enormous waste of labels and time.

Problem #2: At the end of the each sheet of labels, the printer jumps two labels and continues printing. Another enormous waste of labels (I print over 90 labels a day). The main document in Word is set up this way: Menu > Page Setup > Layout > Section Start > Continuous.

Help would be appreciated!!

Terry

P.S. I have Word and Excel 2010 if I need to move this operation to my main computers to solve this problem.
