I have Word 2003. I'd like to make a label template with our firm's name on
the top where I could choose a particular label (using Labels 5164 - want to
choose label 1 thru 6 - I will choose whichever one is available on my label
sheet). I would like to see a whole sheet of labels and put addresses on
labels 3 and 4 and then print just those labels. Whenever I choose New
Documents in Envelopes and Labels I do get a new label sheet but it will not
allow me to print just 1 or just 2 or 3 labels, it will print the whole
sheet. Any help appreciated, thanks.

If you choose New Document before inserting any information, you should get
a blank sheet of labels. They are formatted as a table, so be sure you have
table gridlines displayed (Table | Show Gridlines) so you can see the label
boundaries. You can type in any specific label(s) you want. Any label sheet
can also be saved as a template.

It was confirmed to me that I could type a label template going into New
Document of Tools/Letters & Mailing but how do you PRINT a particular label?
For instance I just want to print label 3 or maybe labels 3 and 4 without
printing the whole page, because in my template I am going to put in the
firm's name and address(in a header maybe?) Thanks, again ll.

You print a particular label by putting text in that specific label and
printing it. If you want a return address on the label, I would suggest that
you put the address in Label 1 of the template. When you need to print a
different label, create it in Label 1, then Cut and Paste it into the
position you want to print. Alternatively, put the return address in all the
labels and before printing delete all the ones you don't want to print. Or
create a separate template with the return address in the required position
for each label on the sheet. I'll grant you this is not ideal, but it's the
best solution I can come up with if you don't want to use the Single Label
feature that Word provides.
