1. Pracrice on plain paper and overlay a label sheet. Check that the page
sizes match in the page setup and printer options and that the printer
settings have no zoom option set. In some circumstances you may have to
adjust the label settings to increase or reduce the top margin.

2. Don't use the merge wizard - see
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm You can toggle the
view to see the layout before printing or outputting to a new document.

Hi,

I want to print addresses from my excel file onto avery A4 J8160
labels.

When they print (after looking fine on screen, with appropriate
margins etc..) the adreesses are printed outwith the confines of the
labels. As people may know, these labels are not cheap and I have
waasted a number of them trying to do this.

The screen gives me one thing and the printer does another.

Another thing, when matching feilds on mail merge wizard, why do I
have to guess what each feild is arranged on label? This is, in my
opinion, a serious design fault on the part of mocrosoft. This
wastes my time guessing what my labels look like and then having to
delete and start all over again.

Thanks for any help.
