Bursting with template control

Question

Hi there,
I am using the xml publisher in PeopleSoft and my requirement is as follows.
Every year there are 500 odd staff who receive a pay rise and each staff member receives a letter detailing this payrise. Additionally there are 8 different types of letter that any staff member could have.
What I want to do is burst by the staff members department ID and control the template by which letter I want to use. I've generated my xsd file and my program generates the xml and publishes the process.
My problem is that although the bursting works, and the correct template is chosen, only the first page is printed for each department. I have looked around and saw that you can place page breaks on a template but because I won't necessarily use the same template for the next page I wasn't sure that this is the answer.
I don't have any for-each statement in the template as there is no looping in any page. If I have 500 rows then I want 500 pages.
Do I need to have something within the xsd file (and attribute??) that the publisher can interpret so that a new page is generated (and correct template chosen) for each row in the xml file??
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Dave,
My xml file looks similar to this (other than there would be more rows):
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<Start>
<BIS_SAL_LTR_XML>
<BIS_DEPTID_GRP>505210</BIS_DEPTID_GRP>
<BIS_SALRVW_LTR_NBR>4A</BIS_SALRVW_LTR_NBR>

</BIS_SAL_LTR_XML>
</Start>
My xsd file is like this:
