Change default cell alignment for mailing label?
Using Word 2002 and have someone looking to modify the default cell
alignment for the 5161 label. While it is possible to modify this after the labels are created, and I can create a custom template with this setting (the user wants the text top aligned), I have not found a way to set this as a default when using Word's label feature. It appears the cell formatting for the labels comes from the Table Normal style, but I cannot figure out how to edit this, especially just for these labels. Any ideas would be welcome. TIA, Mike |

Change default cell alignment for mailing label?
Hi Mike,
Using Word 2002 and have someone looking to modify the default cell alignment for the 5161 label. While it is possible to modify this after the labels are created, and I can create a custom template with this setting (the user wants the text top aligned), I have not found a way to set this as a default when using Word's label feature. It appears the cell formatting for the labels comes from the Table Normal style, but I cannot figure out how to edit this, especially just for these labels. Any ideas would be welcome. No, I don't think this is a function of any table style. I believe the formatting is applied by the "wizard" that generates the label sheet. And there's no way to get in there and change the behavior. Your only recourse would be to write a macro that essentially duplicates the label wizard. (For example, you could start with you template, have an AutoNew macro that prompts for the address, then write that information to all the table cells so that the user has a sheet with all the labels filled in.)
