When I am doing a mail merge I only get three labels at the top and two at
the bottom of the screen after I click to "update all labels". I do not see
any settings for this. I can copy my formatting and paste into the other
labels, but this does not seem like the best solution.

You're working with a Tablet PC, I'll bet. this is a known bug in Word and
probably won't be fixed any time soon...

If I can find a moment, I should probably create a macro workaround and post
it on my website. But it won't be this week.

If you are using a Tablet PC with Windows XP SP2 this is a known problem
documented in

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898630/en-us

which mentions a couple of workarounds. I don't think a fix has been issued.
