I have never been able to work out how Word detects that it needs to avoid
propagating labels to columns 2,4,6 (perhaps it is obvious to someone else)
but certainly doing things like modifying the column width, and possibly
applying other formatting make Word revert to propagating labels to every
cell in the table.

What to do depends on whether or not Word is copying anything other than
text to columns 2,4,6. If it is just copying text and the cells are
otherwise formatted how you need you can tyr:
a. propagate
b. select column 2
c. delete
d. repeat b,c for columns 4 and 6.

If you need any formatting in columns 2,4,6 and the propagate is overwriting
it, re-apply the formatting after the propagate.

I am trying to created a merge (with label 5293) in Word 2003 by using
Excel
2003 as the Data Source. Once I arrange/format the first cell and go to
update all cells the labels are placed in the columns AND between the
(first
3) columns. I am trying to do a complex merge where I enter in the data,
paste a design in the background and add a logo. Any suggestions are
appreciated.
