Re: Please help with file labels

You bet. And as a matter of fact, I encourage it. And it's not "too"
off-topic! Follow the directions here:
http://www.officearticles.com/misc/best_install_procedures_for_microsoft_office.htm
(I have lots of Office answers there--tons of the commonly asked

waiting.)
Hope it helps, Jim!
