I'm not a developer just a simple Word user! I think I can manage around this spacing problem.
Two more quick Q's:
1. Is there a way to print vertically in a text box?
2. When I complete the merge and select "edit individual labels", it creates a .doc with 1 page an multiple sections. How can I print only selected sections vs. the entire document.

FYI - this forum has been amazing. You have really helped me thru this procedure.
