WHEN I PERFORM THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE . . .

on toolbar, select Tools / Letters and Mailings
select Mail Merge Wizard .. a Mail Merge window opens at the right of the
document

Mail Merge window
under Select document type, choose Labels
under Step 1 of 6, click Next: Starting document
under Select starting document , click Change document layout
under Change document layout, click Label options

Label Options box
choose label type (wide enough to avoid line wrap problems; Avery 5161 is
good choice)
click OK

.. . . EACH LABEL IN THE WORD DOCUMENT LAYOUT CONTAINS AN UNWANTED HARD RETURN

How can I avoid that? My addresses won't fit on 1x4" labels unless I go
through and manually delete every return.

Thanks!

You will find it simpler if you use the method at

You then only have to configure one label - before you merge.
