Default Need to print a single label starting at row 1 column 2

I've never seen the wizard fail that way, so I don't know what's
wrong.

But there is a workaround: Leave the address box blank in the wizard
and click the New Document button instead of the Print button. That
gives you a one-page document containing a table (click Table Show
Gridlines if needed) matching the label stock. Type the information in
whatever cell you want, and print.

You might want to save that document as a template (.dot file) and
use it (through File New) instead of the wizard for the next time
you want a single label, or a sheet with different data on each label.

Word 2002 Mailing Label wizard. I have already printed a label at row 1
column 1, and then reinserted the sheet of labels. The wizard prints the
second label at row 1 column 1 even though I instructed it to print at row 1
column 2. The label type I selected is Avery 8160 which translates to 10
labels down and 3 across. Is there a workaround for this behavior?
