Default Alternative to mailmerge

There's no alternative to using merge if merge is what you are doing. You
will either have to put up with the SQL message or suppress it via the
registry hack.
If you want to manually type labels, simply create a new document from the
envelope/label tool.

If I have a sheet of Avery Labels, I could possibly create a template
which looks like the MM main document and then do search and replace.
This becomes tricky then if I need more than 14 labels (i.e. more than
one page)

If I can set the registry from excel VBA then I will be happy - this
looks easy enough although I have not seen examples of how to delete the
entry afterwards
