Saving Label Layouts?

[Spider1999]

I frequently print single file folder labels (Avery 8166).
I like to use Times New Roman 14pt bold centered, instead
of the Times New Roman 12pt regular left that the standard
label template provided by Word. But I having to reformat
every label with seven or eight steps to have the font and
centering I like. Is there a way to save the layout so I
can go back and create single labels in my layout without
having to go through all those steps each time?

Use Tools, Envelopes and Label, select the label and then click on the Add
To Document button. You now have an empty page of labels - which is really
nothing more than a pre-formatted table. Select the table and now make all
the changes to paragraph and font selection. Finally, save this empty
table/form as a template - say15x2.dot. Next time you want the label, simply
use File, New and open a document from the template.

"New Document" rather than "Add to Document" (which is on the Envelopes
tab).

Oops! Yes, I was remembering the Envelope option rather than the Label
option.
