Is there a fix for this?

Thanks.

Apologies, I'm looking for a fix for the Created document. The Preview was for comparison and skippable.

Then the data may be the culprit.

You can try:

tab delimited if you are currently using comma delimited, and vice versa
saving data with UTF-8 or UTF-16
check data for potential hard return or soft returns

The Preview function has been problematic, and can cause issues with the merged document. The workaround is: "not use preview", and if you need a sampling, export or create a small range before performing entire file.

As far as I know (and in my experience), there have not been any issues from previewing individual records (as shown in the screenshot).

The bug occurs if Preview Multiple Record Layout is used.
