Default Easy way to edit Layout?

Had a hard time logging in for a while...

I had tried that and the closest thing is Edit the Main Document but there I
have to add a field to each label because the sheet is already generated.

I'd like to go back to where you set it up the first time but with my set up
already there (so I can just add one field or a space or whatever I missed).

cheers,
klam

On the toolbar there is a button to "Propogate Labels" that may allow you to
do what you want.

Every time I mail merge for labels, it takes me a couple of times to get
it
just right. The most frustrating part is that after the Merge it creates
the
"Layout" document with all the Insert Merge Fields on it.

How I can easily edit that document without having to paste in my change
into every cell (label) OR having to start over again?

It would be great if I could just start over again from the Helper under
Step 1 | Main Document | Edit but when I do that it just brings me to the
"Layout" page.

Any tips from super Merge users? TIA, klam
