It made no difference.

I have compensated in the horizontal direction by using the
Format/Paragraph/Indents&Spacing/Indents, and when I select the whole
table (8 labels) they move en masse to the left by the selected amount.

Is there something similar for the vertical?

It looks like I have to redo all the labels for a printer and keep them in
a folder for that printer.

Regards, Frank

What happened when you started Word in Safe Mode: did it still print
misaligned?

Thanks, I downloaded the latest driver (Jan 10) and this help a bit.
However the problem no is that there is displacement of the labels down
the page, that is there is too great a margin at the top of the page and
this cannot be varied with any printer settings.

Has Word2003 any way of adjusting this, which would mean compensating
for the printer's inability to grab the paper at the very top edge?

That should not be necessary. The defined labels should work with any
printer: if they don't, then either you have change normal.dot or the
printer driver is incompatible. To test if it is a normal.dot or
incompatible add-in rather than the printer, start Word in Safe Mode
and test print a sheet of labels.

From Start | Run (Winkey+R), type in

winword /a

and press Enter. Word will start in Safe Mode bypassing all
customisations and add-ins. Open a sheet of labels and print now. If
they are still misaligned, then you have a bad printer or printer
driver.

I have labels on an A4 sheet, and because we have a new printer it is
necessary to fine tune the position of these.

It is hard to use the mouse for fine tuning and I wonder if there is a
'nudge' using just the keyboard for very fine tuning.

(I already know about suppressing the "snap to" by pressing down the
'alt' key.)
