I have always been able to see the exact look and layout of the label type,
but now when I select the label type (5160) and choose new document, it only
shows a blank page with no preview of how the labels look

Click on the top where it says "table". In the drop down box you will see
either "hide gridlines" or "show gridlines". I am guessing if you are not
seeing lines when you choose a new document that is why. See if that helps.

Table | Show Gridlines.
