Thanks Patrick.  I have followed your instructions down to this point
and printed off a trial set of text labels.
However, I am running into problems with this next bit.

When I click "New Document" a new document "Labels1.doc" is created.
But there is no formatted table.  It just looks like an ordinary text
document. Then when I print, Word97 just prints off the page just like
it is ordinary text.  This is despite me clicking the "Full Page of
the Same Label" option in the previous window.
Any ideas?  For once the normally very helpful help menu isn't that
helpful! SNOOPY
