In like print shop or print master I can add clip art to one side of the
label and the other side text. Can I do this with Word 97?

As a correction and an additional note and to the article, if you are
using WordArt as the graphic then it *can* be inserted as Inline in
Word 2000 (it was prior to Word 97 they were floating). You just need
to right-click the WordArt, select Format/WordArt and on the Layout
tab select "In line with text".

Also, if using Word 2002/2003 added a graphic is simple with the
"Propagate Labels" command found on the Mail Merge toolbar. It's just
a matter of setting up the labels and then inserted the graphic on the
first label of the main document. Once it's set the way you want the
"Propagate Labels" command will modify the rest of the labels to
match. :)

I had wondered if that would work in non-mail merge documents!

It doesn't for non-mail merge documents.

BUT you can use the ""Main document setup" command on the Mail Merge
toolbar to initially set up your labels and the "Propagate Labels"
command will be available. Then just change the "Main document setup"
back to a normal Word document when you are finished.

The only drawback is Word will automatically insert "Next Record" so I
use Find/Replace to delete the field when I'm done.

Hmm. Possibly more trouble than it's worth? I find Publisher much more
satisfactory for this type of layout, anyway.

Suzanne,
We really must get you turned on to VBA :)
The following macro will duplicate the content of the first label in all the
other labels via the propagate function

Sub DuplicateLabels()
ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdMailingLabels
WordBasic.MailMergePropagateLabel
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = True
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^d NEXT"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll
ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdNotAMergeDocument
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False
End Sub

Naah. I never make this kind of label. If I did, I'd do it in Publisher.
