Actually I did figure it out after I submitted this message. The help menu
does NOT answer my question. My users wanted a blank document that would
have
all the cell dimensions of a specific Avery label size. They would then
like
to type a unique address in each cell but don't want to create an entire
mail
merge address group. The dialog boxes imply that you have to fill out that
same label address in the blank space given or a return address label. I
did
discover that after choosing the label size, you can just click "New
Document" to get such a document. Perhaps I am not explaining this clearly
or
using the proper terms, but no such explanation can be found in the Help
menu.

If you look up Labels in the Help facility in Word, you will find a
wealth
of information, but, if you get stuck, post back here.

I have lots of folks in my work area who want a blank sheet of labels
that
they can type unique addresses into. Is it not possible to do that
without
creating my own table from scratch with all the proper dimensions?
