Default Can you change the label size on an existing sheet of labels?

If you create a sheet of labels in Word 2003 and type in all the names and
addresses THEN realise that you have not used the right size of labels is
there a way to resolve this?

I know you could make a fresh sheet of labels using the correct label
product and copy and paste the info across, or you could adjust the sizes of
the rows/columns that make up the table that forms the grid - but is there a
simple command somewhere to say 'Use Avery J8160 not XXXX'?

Some of my students were a bit keen and have prepared their Christmas Card
labels before checking which sort of labels were available to them. I am
trying to find a way to stop them having to redo the whole task!

Thanks

No, this is nopt possible, but it is straightforward to turn the labels back
into a data file and re-run the merge on the different label stock.
