I've got a problem. I have 150 SEPARATE documents in a computer file
folder at work. Each document represents a page done in the "label"
mode, except they are not being used as labels.

Question:  Is there a SINGLE (or simple) command that would tell the
printer to print all of the 150 SEPARATE documents, or must I press
"printer" for each and every of the 150 documents?

IF NOT -- is there a way that I can combine the 150 pages into one
document (keep in mind that these have been done in the label mode, so
they're were not running, consecutive pages)?

I'm using Windows 2000, Word 2000. I've got to figure this out by
tomorrow, or I will be in deep do-do at work.  Thanks!

You may be able to do this manually without too much effort by selecting the
documents in small groups in Windows Explorer, then right-clicking and
sending them to the printer. Or perhaps even dragging them to a printer
icon - I never do things that way myself so not sure what happens. However,
certain things may prevent that from happening, and I no longer know how
many you can print in a single operation.

Or you could use a small macro - for example there's something similar at

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/PrintAllDocsInFldr.htm

but it sends all the output to a file that you then have to print using e.g.
from a DOS box using:

Shell "Copy C:\printfile.prn LPT1: /b"

but it might be better to adapt the macro to print eachdocument in turn.

You should be able to combine all the documents into one using the
Boiler.dot add-in, linked from the downloads page of my web site. Then with
the help of the replace function and
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels_into_mail_merge.htm  you should be able
to convert the resulting document into a data file you can use to merge to
new labels http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm
