Word 2003.

Using the Envelopes and Labels tool to print labels. The default printer
tray can be changed under Options, but only for that single printing. The
next time Envelopes and Labels is opened, it defaults back to Default Tray
(Automatically Select). I would like to know if there is a way to force label
printing to Manual Feed as an application default, so it persists across
sessions and documents (without saving a change to the normal.dot through
Page Setup), such as it does with the Envelopes tab.

Even if the tooltip at the bottom of the window states, "Before printing,
insert labels in your printer's manual feeder," Word will print to plain
letter paper from a standard tray if the labels chosen are on letter-sized
paper (8.5 x 11). I am printing to a custom label sheet, which happens to be
letter-sized, and I would like not to have to select Manual Feed every time I
open the Envelopes and Labels window.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
