Default Mail merge has lost significant functionality in Word 2003

Mail Merge in Word 2000 & before had interactive design of labels, allowing
individual fields to be positioned at will, variable fonts to be set etc etc.
Word 2003 only has the AddressBlock , with almost no ability to edit that I
can find. For example, I could set, say, the Name field to be bold and a
larger font in W2002 and this would be the template for all labels. Now I
have to generate a bulk standard label and apply edits retrospectively. This
is a significant decrease in functionality & usability, and a process that
was intuitive has now become the opposite. Why on earth has Microsoft taken
this out?! Put it back, please!!
