I always want to print a single label from Word, not a
sheet of labels. But after I print a label, the program
always resets to its default of printing a whole sheet of
labels. The next time I want to print a label I'm likely
to forget to reset to "single label," so I ruin alot of
expensive labels. I can't see how to switch the default
setting to "sincle lablel." Can anyone help?

Hi Enoch,

Put this macro in normal.dot or another global macro (one in Word's
Startup folder), and create a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut to
run it. Refer to these pages for instructions:

Sub SingleLabel()
Dim dlg As Dialog
Set dlg = Dialogs(wdDialogToolsEnvelopesAndLabels)
With dlg
.DefaultTab = wdDialogToolsEnvelopesAndLabelsTabLabels
.SingleLabel = 1
.Show
End With
End Sub
