I presume it goes without saying that I need to be logged in under the
user's profile on the target machine before double clicking the .reg
file, since it needs to go under HKEY_CURRENT_USER?

Thanks Beth this was exactly the answer I was looking for. Creating a
cheat sheet as suggested previously was the other option I was going to
consider, but that would require the users to look up on the cheat sheet
every time they need to run labels.

Avery is sending me a list of specifications for all their color
laserjet compatible labels. My plan was to create them on my PC, but my
next question was going to be how to distribute those definitions. So
thanks for thinking ahead of me.

So I presume if I open Windows Explorer and navigate to my
"ColorLabels.reg" file, double clicking on it will add the key to the
user's registry. Think I'll test this out on my test box first.

The easiest way to do this is to add the Custom Label definition to
one computer and create Reg file for the changes. Then all the user
(or anyone) would need to do is double-click the Reg file to merge the
Custom Label definitions.

Once the Custom Label definitions are created they are located in the
Registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Wo rd\Custom Labels

Select the Custom Labels key, click File/Export, make sure "Selected
Branch" is selected, provide a name for the file and click Save. Then
distribute the resulting *.reg file. As noted, double-click the *.reg
file on the other computers to merge the data into their Registry.
