Of course you can edit them? Click 'details' and make the changes. Your
personal label definitions are stored under Other/Custom - How many
different label formats are you likely to use for this to be a problem?
Furthermore if the labels are not printing correctly, chances are that it is
not the label layout that its wrong but some other setting (usually a
mismatch between paper (printer) and page size (document) and a scale option
set in the print dialog.

Actually, it is possible that they are. Too bad one can not edit
those definitions, or at least add to them in a structured manner.
Thank you very much for your help.
Not that I am aware of. Are you sure your labels are not
pre-defined. Most are already covered.

Gentlemen,
I do appraciate the tip. I have found that solution on Google as
well as Microsoft search. The thing is, I would like to add my own
"Label products" category in the drop-down, instead of creating all
my labels under "Other/Custom". Is that possible?
Note that label definitions are not transportable between different
Word versions - but otherwise Peter has it right - see

I believe they are stored in the registry under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Custom
Labels
You /may/ be able to
a. use the registry editor to export that registry key,
b. edit the resulting text if you only want some of the
definitions in it c. distribute the .reg file
d. get people who need the layout definitions to double-click on
the .reg file to import it into their registry (and remember that
this will overwrite any existing definitions)
Or you could probably do the above using some VBA (I do not have
any for this).
I haven't tried it, but that's what I would try first.

...
I installed a product that has added a paper type and a number of
different label definitions in the Envelops and Labels wizard on
the Labels tab. I now want to do the same, but with MY paper type
and label definitions (width, height, etc). I want to include
some kind of an install disk that I
can include with the labels that I sell that will add these
settings on my customers' systems. So far I have been unable to
find exactly where these settings are stored. Can anyone help?
