I am trying to use Microsoft Word Version 5.0 to print out mailing labels
on a laser printer.  The sheets that I have for this have three columns,
each 2.875" x 1" (paper size is 8.5" x 11").  I am trying to do this by
using Microsoft's Print Merge Printer feature.

I follwed the instructions given in the Word manual, but this does not
solve the problem correctly.  It will print the labels in three columns,
but the problem that remains is that Word doesn't know anything about the
page.  It prints label after label, with disregard to the margins of the
labels.

Does anyone out there know how I can successfully tell Word that I have 33
equally sized labels on one page, and that it should print the labels
correctly?

Thanks in advnace.
