Mail Merge with Multiple Columns

I have a user who wants to create a Word mail merge using an excel data source. Sure that's easy. But what happens when they want to divide the page up into columns and then add the same fields. As it runs through the data source, you get duplicates. So I though if you add the Next Record field, but all that does is make them out of snyc.

It ends up being the first field has record A, the second field has record B. Then on the second page the first field has record B and the second field has record C.

Am I missing something here? Any help would be most appreciated.
