Default HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE STARTING LABEL IN A MAIL MERGE?

I'm using Word 2002 and I cannot figure out how to change the starting label
to one other than the very first label.

Default HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE STARTING LABEL IN A MAIL MERGE?

The only way to do that is to insert the appropriate number of blank/dummy
records into the data source. Another way that can be used with some labels
if the top and bottom margins are the same, is to turn the label sheet up
side down and then merge as many records as there are labels on the sheet,
that then execute the merge a second time, this time starting at the next
record in the data source.

Hope this helps.
