How can I change to a different mailing label in Access 2003

[Guest]

I have created a database report for mailing labels but I have chosen the
wrong label can anyone suggest how I can change this.

The easiest way is to use the Wizard to create a new label from scratch.
You CAN change a label, but it involves changing the dimensions of the label
and the number of labels across and down on the page. You can find these in
the Page Setup menu.

You can't really change the label style. You would need to change
everything manually such as the label width and height and the number of
columns, etc. The easiest thing to do is to just delete the existing report
and go through the wizard again.

I agree with Pat and Roger. One possible shortcut though - if you
create a new Report with the correct label, you may be able to copy
and paste all of the controls from the old report (and perhaps move
them around a bit to fit).

Of course this won't work if the correct label is much smaller than
the old one!
