Avery 8167 Label Template Wrong
Word 2003's Avery Label Templates rarely agree with the actual label
printing process. They almost always allow printing to "creep" up or down the page with text overflowing the label edges. If properly aligned at the top, the text prints slightly higher on each label vertically below the first overlapping label edges significantly by the time it prints on the bottom label in a column. That holds true for the six-up and 20 up labels in addition to the Avery 8167 (80-up) labels. However, on the Avery 8167 labels the template is even worse. The template shows a roughly ¼" gutter between the 1st & 2nd columns of labels. However the actual approximate ¼" gutter is between the 2nd & 3rd columns on the label stock. Is there any way I can adjust the Avery 8167 Label Template to make it conform to the actual label stock? -- With kindest regards, Dick Smith |

Avery 8167 Label Template Wrong
There does seem to be something wrong with the dimensions of that label as
the sum of the horizontal pitch and the margins exceeds the page width. You can however adjust it, either in the Label Options dialog by click on Details, or by clicking on the New Document button. A document containing a page of labels will then appear. If you do not see them, click on the Show gridlines item under the Tables menu (labels are just tables with fixed cell dimensions). Then if you take a ruler and accurately measure the dimensions of the labels, you can make adjustments to the width of the columns so that they match your measurements. Your other problem about creep however is quite likely to be caused by the inability of the print to accurately handle the label stock. Print the labels to plain paper and see how they then line up with a sheet of labels. -- Hope this helps.
