Labels
I am using Microsoft Word 2003, and I am trying to print a page of labels
using the Avery Address Labels 5160. When I print the labels, they are not properly spaced. There are ten rows of labels, as there should be, but they do not conform to the Avery Labels 5160, that is, they print reduced in type size and in label spacing. What do I need to do in order to get the labels to print in 12 point type and to be spaced so that they print on every label? |

Are the labels printing high and to the left? If this were any other
document, I would suspect that it contained Tracked Changes or Comments. Be sure that Track Changes is not turned on when you create the labels. -- Suzanne S.

Tracked Changes is turned off. The labels look fine when I go to Print
Preview, but when I print, the labels print with equal margins on the rigth and left (amnost as if the labels are centered horizontally). The first row of labels seem to print with the correct Top Margin, but after that, each label looses a little more of the vertical alignment with each row, leaving about a 4" margin at the bottom. The type seems to be 8 maybe nine point, but certainly not 12 point. Guy "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Are the labels printing high and to the left?

I don't know what the horizontal position problem is, and it might
point in a different direction, but this is worth a try... The vertical shrinkage is sometimes a symptom of drying or clogging of the rubber rollers that push the paper through the printer. The label stock is thicker and often a little more slippery than ordinary paper. If the rollers lose some of their friction with age, they tend to slip a little, and this is more prevalent and more noticeable on labels. You can try using a soft pencil eraser to rough up the rollers (if you can reach them). It probably isn't cost-effective to get the rollers replaced. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

No, this is not the problem. I printed some business cards perfectly and the
card stock is thicker than the label stock. And more than that, I test printing the labels on plain paper rather than label stock. But thanks for your suggestion. I hope others will venture a try at answering this problem. Guy "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Check that the paper size in page setup and in the printer properties is the
same and that you have no zoom setting in the File Print dialog. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Guy Delaney wrote: No, this is not the problem.

The paper sizes are the same in page setup and in the printer properties and
there is no zoom. The labels still print incorrectly. Guy "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
