With Word 2000 and XP I was able to use Tools>...> Lables > Options to setup
an Avery Ready Index (5, 8, 10, 15 tab) but I do not fiind it in 07. The Docs
I created for these indexes in Word XP do not format correctly in 07 - They
are now 3 sepeate tables across 3 pages. Does Word 2007 still support Ready
Index?

In order to find the formats you want, you *must* know the Avery product
number of the labels. It should be on the package, or you can look at
Avery's web site starting at
http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Se...ode matchall&y=0&dimsearch=true&N=0&Nty=0&x=0

You probably want products 11131 (5-tab), 11133 (8-tab), 11135 (10-tab) and
11143 (15-tab). All of these are available in the Label Options dialog in
Word 2007.

I can't tell you why label documents created in Word 2003 would look so
different in Word 2007. Sometimes the formatting can change when you use a
different printer driver, but that usually affects plain text rather than
tables, which are used in label documents. All I can suggest is creating new
label documents in Word 2007 and copying the contents of the table cells
from the old documents.
