Default How to change mailing label size in existing label document

I have a mailing label document with a lot of addresses, but have recently
changed my mailing label size. How do I change the layout without losing the
text?

There is no easy way to do this directly. The preferred method is to use the
existing label document to create a data source for a mail merge (this isn't
anything complicated, just a document with a table that's arranged
differently). Full instructions are at
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm.

Once you have that, you can use the mail merge feature to make labels in any
size you want, or envelopes or invitations or spam email... :-) That's
explained at http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/...MailMerges.htm.
