Default Setting minimum character limit?

I was afraid you would say that but. . .I was able to do a work around by
creating another table (1 row, 1 column, retricted size) inside the label.
It worked perfectly. Thanks.

Greetings, I am merging data from an excel spreadsheet onto labels in
Word
(2003). Is there anyway I can restrict a field size to only 5-6
characters
rather than the entire cell contents being merged onto the label?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
