Default How do I get merged labels to print in line with Avery template

Hi ?B?QWxhbiBI?=,

I have carried out a label mail merge selecting an Avery A4 L7160 label
template. All address data fits correctly into the labels on the screen
during merge but when I print the addresses are OK for the top 2 or 3 rows
but move progressively up the page. This means that the addresses are not
printing within the area of the label. How do I overcome this, how do I make
the printer print exactly what it shows on the screen.

Sometimes, this problem is due to a "bad" installation of the Avery tool that
installs with Office. You might check the Avery site for an update (or reinstall
the tool from there).

Also, if you have headers or footers defined in your Normal.dot template, this
can cause problems with label merges.
