Is there a way in Word 2003 to Auto-size the font as you type in a lable
cell. Ex. In a label cell when creating a full page of new labels I'd like
to have the font get bigger or smaller automatically as I type depending on
the amounts of words and number of lines I type. This way it will Auto-size
and I don't have to change the font to smaller or bigger to fit in the lable.

Publisher has that feature...if you happen to have it.

Publisher has that feature - even if you don't happen to have it.

Sort of. If you are working in a sheet of labels (you clicked the New
Document button in the Labels dialog), you have the labels as a table.
Select the entire table and open Table Properties. On the Cell tab, click
Options... and check the box for "Fit Text."
