Can someone please tell me how to change the label settings. When I first set
up the labels I needed avery 5160, how do I change this to a different
setting?
Thanks
 
I would think you'd just create a new report.

The label wizard helped you build a report. You can't modify it (as far as
I know) using the wizard again.

To expand a bit on Rick B's answer, when the label wizard created the
report, it set lots of different properties based on the exact size and
format of Avery 5160 labels. While you could tinker with all of those
settings by opening the report in design view and making changes to
reflect the new type of labels, you'd have to know all of the
characteristics of those labels and all the places where those
characteristics affect the properties of the report, its sections, and
its controls. You can't change the label type in one place and have
that happen automatically. So it's a lot simpler to create a new report
using the wizard, maybe copy code or special modifications you made from
the old report to the new one, and then swap the new report in for the
old one.
