MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2008Changed my default margins but labels are not using the default
I changed my default margins for Word 2007 but when attempting to complete a mail merge using labels, the default margins are not being used. I believe that I need to modify the template for the particular label I am using, but I cannot find it. Can anyone advise where the label templates are stored? You should create a custom label by modifying the one that you are using. Or make your own from scratch. Labels are just tables with fixed cell dimensions. You may not even need a label, a directory type mail merge might be more appropriate. It just depends upon what you are really needing to do.  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Can anyone advise where the label templates are stored? Actually, I provide support and the problem isn't with the margins, it is with the line spacing. The default for Word is set to single spacing as is with the label (Avery 5160), but when using Mail Merge, the spacing in the label changes. > You should create a custom label by modifying the one that you are using. > Or make your own from scratch.

If you are saying that there is a blank line between each line of the address, then the problem is with the formatting of the paragraphs in the mail merge main document. I suspect however that you may be using the Address Block field so it may not be apparent that the paragraphs in it are set to have some space before or after them. I am not sure how that comes about as I have not and would not ever use that field. Instead, you should just insert the mergefields that you want to use in the configuration that you want them. That is nothing at all to do with the default margins. SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
