Custom label emergency
I have an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of labels as follows: 2 across and 3 down. They
are not Avery labels listed on Microsoft Word. They have no top, bottom, or side margins whatsoever. Just perforated cardstock paper divided across by 2 and vertically by 3 which are to be torn apart, not peeled. Nothing I've tried so far works. When I try the custom label it tells me it's too big for the paper. Can you please help? Thanks a million!!! |

Did you check to see if the cardstock manufacturer offers a template?

Hi, JoAnn: Yes I have checked PC/Nametages.com, their website, but couldn't
find one.

1. Set all the page margins to 0", ignoring warnings. Create a 2 x 3 table
and set the row height to 11/3" (whatever that works out to). Set reasonable cell padding so that you won't *actually* be trying to print in the printer's unprintable area. Then insert your text. or 2. Set small page margins (as small as your printer will let you get away with). Insert a 3 x 5 table. Format column 2 to be the sum of the left and right margins and let columns 1 and 3 split what's left. Similar, format the height of rows 2 and 4 as the sum of the top and bottom margins and let rows 1, 3, and 5 split what's left. For example, if you wanted half-inch margins all the way around (most printers can handle that), you'd make column 2 1"; columns 1 and 3 would be (8.5" - 0.5" - 0.5" - 1")/2 = 3.25". Rows 2 and 4 would be 1" and rows 1, 3, and 5 would be (11" - 0.5" - 0.5" - 1" - 1")/3 = 8/3". -- Suzanne S.

Thank God for you, Suzanne. I'm home from the office now and am going to try
it right now. Thanks again so much. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 1. Set all the page margins to 0", ignoring warnings.
