Hey Doug, I think Peter is correct, but since I copied the code from the
first message, it doesn't really make any difference, and I already had that
part correct. (for the untrained eyes: there is a misspelling a vs o in the
second msg from Doug, but it is correct in the first message taht lists the
code)
Can I just copy over my labelmacro.docm to other machines and voila it
magically works?

setting up a label type mail merge main document. You do not need to add it
to a toolbar.

okay maybe I don't know what I"m doing. I created a new template called
labelmacro.dotm and saved it in the startup folder as directed. I have
the
macro available to me, and I have added it to my toolbar, but it does not
automatically apply itself to mailmerge labels.
Originally when I created the macro, it named it as
Normal.NewMacros.MailMergePropogateLabel
Where did I do something wrong? (and how do I fix it?)

Assuming that you have the macro in a template (.dotm) other than the
Normal.dotm template, save it in C:\Documents and Settings\Applications
Data\Micorosoft\Word\Startup.

I managed to get the macro created and saved, but I don't know how to
put
it
into a template that is saved in the word/startup folder. My templates
are
stored in c:\docs and settings\username\application
data\microsoft\templates\*.dotm
Can I add it to the normal template (how?) so that it makes everything
always single spaced? (I already change the default line spacing when
I
first install office 2007 onto their machines. If I can just copy my a
normal.dotm file onto their machines, that would be a fairly easy
workaround.)

Use Shift+Enter instead of Enter to create each new line in the label
content. Then the 5.5pt space before will only apply to the first
line
of
the label and99.9% of the time will not cause a problem.
Alternatively, put the following macro in a template that you save in
the
Word\Startup folder and it will run when the user propagates the label
setup, changing the spacebefore to 0 and also overcoming a problem
that
occurs if the user is using a Tablet PC or a PC that has "tablet like"
functionality available.
