Hi

I am attempting to print addresses on a set of labels using mail merge
document. The labels should appear as 2 columns containing 7 rows for each A4
page (One of the default templates when you go through the mail merge
wizard).

Whe I print the mail merge I find that by the 3rd row the labels on the
paper no longer align correctly with the so an address appears betweeen 2
labels.

Looking at the online help I suspect that this is a printer driver problem
with my printer. I have tried updating to the latest driver but this made no
difference. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Some label types are definitely problematic in some versions of Word (if you
look for

Avery Labels

at support.microsoft.com

you may find out more info. about that.

Otherwise, try unchecking Word Tools|options|Print|"Allow A4/Letter paper
resizing.

If that helps, please let us know. If not, you may have to modify your label
layout - you can define a custom layout in the "Label Options" dialog box by
clicking "New Label" (make sure you have a ruler and pencil to hand!)

And some printers simply handle label stock badly. How does it print on
plain paper?

Hi

The unchecking Word Tools|options|Print|"Allow A4/Letter paper
resizing workaround worked for me

Thanks very much
