When pressing the 'Propogate Labels' button on the toolbar, or the 'Update
all labels' button on the task pane, it doesn't update anything, rather
clears the "Address Block" field from the first label.

This is a recently occuring issue.
Any ideas?

Did the problem occur after the recent acquisition of a Tablet PC? If so,

Perhaps you have a mischievious friend who has created a macro named
mailmergepropogatelabel that contains code to strip all of the fields from
the active document.

If that is not the case, perhaps the mailmerge main document is damaged.
Try starting afresh with a new main document.
