You can also increase the paragraph indent (Word usually includes a small
indent as default on label text). To do this in the Labels dialog,
right-click in the text and choose Paragraph. If you're working in a labels
document, you can use the ruler or any other ordinary method of indenting.

In Word labels are actually set up as tables. You simply change the cell
margins. Select the entire table or the cells of interest (you have to be
a
little careful about this since some label-tables have very small "spacer"
cells that ou don't want to change) and right click on table Properties.
In
the tab Cell click on Options. This is where you can set the cell
margins.
If there is a check mark in Same as Whole Table the cell margins are
probably greyed out. Uncheck that setting and set the margins you desire.
This way the margin changes will take effect only in the cells you want.
