Default Fine tune the "nudge" facility.

I tried this but all it does is move the table contents
down, whereas I want them up. Putting a negative number
into the field does not work.

You can use Spacing Before.

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.

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.)
