Access "Label Wizard" ?

I'm trying to find the alleged "Label Wizard" in my Access
2002 program ... but It just isn't there! The
Report "Wizard" is present, but there's no selection or
option for a "Label" Wizard as there was in my previous
versions. After spending hours tonight trying to create a
simple nametag label for the first time using 2002,
searching the Help file and the Knowledge Database,
removing and reinstalling the program, repairing the
program, etc., hours later I'm still at ground zero,
unable to design the labels, but assured that a Label
Wizard is *supposed* to be here, somewhere.

"Standard Wizards" allegedly includes the Label Wizard
when installing ... except that it doesn't on my system.

A month ago it was "Conflict Resolution" that didn't work
the first time I needed it -- it did utterly nothing.
Microsoft support finally walked me through a work-around
solution by finding an executable file (WZCNFLCT.EXE) and
running it "manually" (and wanted to charge me another
$245 to learn how to overcome their deficiency!). I'm now
convinced I've got a flawed 5-license copy of Office XP --
not that Microsoft cares; it's alrady got my $1,500 -- but
I've still got to get the nametags printed like NOW.

Disgusted, yes. But I've still got to get these labels
done. Is there *another* work-around (apparently standard
for the course with this Access product) I can use to find
and reach the Label Wizard ... or some other solution?

BTW, I'm using Windows XP Pro as my operating system,
5.1.2600 SP1 v. 2600. I'm running SP2 on Access 2002. I'm
trying to print Avery 5395 labels.

Thanks much!
 
Label Wizard is included in my Access 2002. I rarely use it since you can
create a report with the detail section exactly the size of the nametag. Add
your controls as required. Then select File|Page Setup and set the
appropriate number of columns. Play with the spacing until you have your
report running correctly.
 
In the database window, Reports | click the New button on the Database
Window Toolbar | Label Wizard.

Bless you Larry, there it was and it worked! I'll get the
job done in time after all! (Anyone now have any idea how
I can run the conflict resolution manager from inside
Access 2002 instead of from outside using the executable
file WZCNFLCT.EXE? Microsoft tech support didn't, but
perhaps it's just as simple ... if you know how?)

BTW, I don't know if it's from last night's posting to
this newsgroup, but this morning I was greeted by over a
dozen spam messages with viruses attached (ie.,
the "Important Microsoft Patch" variety), along with the
usual array of morning spam. This was an attached virus
record for me. Bless Larry and thank God for Norton
AntiVirus! (Doing a lot of prayerful writing this morning
and I'm not even religeous!)

Only a dozen? Wait a few more days!

Take a look at this site:
http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/main/flmung.asp

for information about how to munge an email address.
Look at the example of my reply address in this post.

Use it only in newsgroups, as no one will be able use it to
send you a direct email.
 
Fred has given you a suggestion for avoiding the problem in the future.
Another, of course, is to use a completely invalid address.

However, neither of these is going to stop the flow of those messages. The
"sweN", "automat", and some variants of "gibe" virus/works extract the
addresses from newsgroup messages saved on the hard drive of the infected
machine.

If you've posted for years using your real address, as I had, you can be
flooded to the extent that you have to disable it, as I did mine. From
25 -100 MB per day of those messages were hitting my Inbox. <SIGH> Prior to
these virus/worms, I had only gotten a manageable amount of spam, not a
vertifable flood. It was like trying to drink from a firehose!
