Well, tried as you suggested.

Yes, if I add the return address to the top and the additional line of text I want to appear to the bottom in the set up dialog and place the fields between these then all of it appears on the labels after the merge.

The issue, for me at least, is that it is all the same point size and the layout not to my liking.

Would prefer to be able to set up the master label with different font and point size and position it better. Also was hoping to add a small graphic that says "peel" to the corner. Cannot do that in '97, apparently.

What you suggest work, though, and I thank you for that
