Default Label printing

The Avery 4013 is a pin-fed label that is 3-1/2" x 15/16" and is in a
quantity of 5000. Perhaps this is why nothing you're doing is working. Most
of us don't need 5000 labels in a lifetime.

I'd suggest you double check the number on the Avery package. Also,
sometimes, I put various labels inside a single pack. Maybe you've got your
labels in the wrong pack.

There is in Works for injet 4013 which I have used for the last 2 years
without a problem. This is the first year I am experiencing this problem.
In fact I usually made my own return labels with no problem but again I
sat down the other night to do my xmas list and almost went crazy. I
might have downloaded a patch for this label I don't remember.

Word 2003 does not list any Avery laser/inkjet labels with stock numbers
beginning with 4. Perhaps your labels are intended for a typewriter? If
the
labels are a single-column, then chances are they're a "mini" sheet, and
you
should be looking for a label definition containing that term. But I
don't
see any that are 2.5" x 4.5".

Where I do see label stock numbers beginning with 4 is in the "Dot
matrix"
category, though I still don't see any the size you mention.

No it starts with 4 and it is the same template I have always used. I

think
I am going to buy some software specifically for label printing and see

what
happens.

Are you sure that you are using the correct template?.. and does your
Avery sheet number start with the #2?

I have used these same sheets for 2 years but this time they just
aren't
working. They have worked in the past but was doing a xmas address
list
with the same database and labels but this time it just won't work. I
might have added some patch from Microsoft 2 yrs ago for this problem

but
don't remember. I thought maybe the automatic updates knocked the

function
of the patch out of whack. Just can't figure it out.

You have to be using the wrong sized sheets for the template..

The printer will not print unless the labels are placed all the way

to
the right edge. I tried putting the labels in the middle and all it
says is printer out of paper.

I suspect you'll need to feed the labels in the center, which is

where
the
printer evidently expects to find them.

I am trying to mail merge and print address labels. I am using

Word
2003
and an HP 2100 series ink jet printer. I set up all the stats
for
my
labels but when they print they print in the middle of the
printer

as
though
I were using letter sized paper (8 1/2 x 11)
My lables are 4.5 x 2.5 and they are an Avery address label which
I
set as
my label. No matter what I try, the labels still print in the

middle
of
the
printer (or page) and not on the label.
Can anyone help??
