Changed my default margins but labels are not using the default

[Beach Lover]

I changed my default margins for Word 2007 but when attempting to complete a
mail merge using labels, the default margins are not being used. I believe
that I need to modify the template for the particular label I am using, but I
cannot find it. Can anyone advise where the label templates are stored?

You should create a custom label by modifying the one that you are using.
Or make your own from scratch. Labels are just tables with fixed cell
dimensions.

You may not even need a label, a directory type mail merge might be more
appropriate. It just depends upon what you are really needing to do.

Actually, I provide support and the problem isn't with the margins, it is
with the line spacing. The default for Word is set to single spacing as is
with the label (Avery 5160), but when using Mail Merge, the spacing in the
label changes.

If you are saying that there is a blank line between each line of the
address, then the problem is with the formatting of the paragraphs in the
mail merge main document.

I suspect however that you may be using the Address Block field so it may
not be apparent that the paragraphs in it are set to have some space before
or after them. I am not sure how that comes about as I have not and would
not ever use that field. Instead, you should just insert the mergefields
that you want to use in the configuration that you want them.

That is nothing at all to do with the default margins.
