Before I go proper demented!!

We have a word document with names and address's in a table....we set up the
mailmerge for labels selecting what seems to be the right label....BUT when
we merege two things happen that I cant work out:-

1. The address's are lined up too close to the left hand side - this means
they miss the label at certain points - how do I move that over (cant seem to
find a line up that works!)

2. The address's seem to line up wrongly and as you go down the page they
print totally incorrectly even though on screen they look right. They line
up wrong and the bottom get's chopped off - some of the address's have 4
lines and some 5 - could this be anything to do with it?

3. On screen it looks like the table screws up - it shows a small part of
the next page table and the start of the name and address - yet when printed
this small row is actually on the next page?! Is that normal?

4. Out of despiration I gave up on the label idea all together and made a
normal table to the dimention of the labels...guess what - bingo it works and
all line up fine - EXCEPT it will not print the last row on the table so
we're wasting 3 labels each page


HELP - any info appreciated!!
