Default Envelopes and Labels: Convert Label Size

I created a table using Tools/Envelopes and Mailings. Chose Avery Label 5390.
Filled in pages of Name Badges. Then realized I need 5392. I can't seem to
simply go back to select 5392. It wants to force me to open a new document.
I suppose I could just adjust the table properties, but with Avery Labels, I
also worry that once I move from standard, it will mess with position on the
page, internal margins, etc. Isn't there a way to just reformat one label
size for another?

Convert the labels into a mailmerge source document:
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm

Then merge that source to a new document based on the 5392 label:
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm or
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm as appropriate.
