Default Creating Labels with Avery 5266 & 6466

With Word 2003 is a waste of time and money. It was very easy to import data
to a label in previous word 2000 and before. The complicated process in Word
2003 is hard for the non programmer user to figure out and do. Had to
reformat the whole file for the labels rather than use the import process
that was there before. Converted tables three times to get the right format
for the above two labels.
