Default Fine tune the "nudge" facility.

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.)
