I would like to use an Avery Label (5160) page that is partially used to
print an existing mail merge document. How do I get my merged label document
to begin printing the first label on say the third row, 2nd column?

Use the following macro

Macro to set the first label on a part sheet of labels for a label type
mailmerge.
Dim MMMDoc As Document
Dim dsource As Document
Dim dtable As Table
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Set MMMDoc = ActiveDocument
With MMMDoc.MailMerge
If .MainDocumentType = wdMailingLabels Then
If .State = wdMainAndDataSource Then
Set dsource = Documents.Open(.DataSource.Name)
Set dtable = dsource.Tables(1)
i = InputBox("Enter the number of labels that have already been
used on the sheet.", "Set Starting Label")
If IsNumeric(i) Then
With dtable
For j = 1 To i
.Rows.Add BeforeRow:=.Rows(2)
Next j
End With
End If
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.Execute
End If
End If
End With
dsource.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
