Yes you could do that. Word neither knows nor cares what the label sheet
looks like. It positions the text according to the layout of the label table
format.

I don't see why you need to do this. You can apply whatever style formatting
you like to the table in Word - either by creating a new document from the
label wizard, or by using mail merge and formatting the label as you wish
before propagating. http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm

Or you could create a label template to select from file new with the
default styles set to position the text where you want.

Um, how?

I want to change the FirstLineIndent and HangingIndent of the text in
the labels, not the actual label size/characteristics.

Or do you mean I can achieve the same effect by increasing the
SideMargin whilst decreasing the LabelWidth at the same time.

Cheers

You can use the label editor in the envelope/label wizard to modify
the layout.

Thankyou both (Suzanne and Graham) for your replies, they were both
very useful.

One further question although this may be TOO difficult, Suzanne
says the Custom Labels are defined in the registry and I have found
the entries but they are BINARY keys. Is there any way to decode
these keys so that I can change the indents on a Custom label (e.g.
if byte 25 defines the indent I could change it from 02 to 05 or
something)
