Thank you Peter and Graham. Can you please tell me how to set a document as
a form letter. Also, I am trying to paste a modified version of the "Astro"
Microsoft Publisher design template in the background. I am having trouble
placing it evenly within the cell. Do you know how I can keep it from
jumping instead of moving slightly.

With complex label formats it is probably simpler to set the document type
as Form letter and create the required layout (including the {next} fields)
manually. Then the propagation cannot conspire to screw up your document -
because it won't be available

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.
