Text prints between labels
I've been having this problem for a while now. I even bought a new printer
and a new box of labels! I've changed the margin set up and even used a graphics program and the problem is still the same. I'm using Word 2000. When I print labels, the text starts out on the top row too high on the label. So I adjusted the top margin and then the first several rows starting printing "ok". Then, further on down the page, the printing starts shifting upwards, printing in between labels, so out of a sheet of 30 (or 80), I might have 10 that are good. I mostly use a name brand label and usually only use the 1/2" x 1 3/4" (8167) or the 1" x 2 5/8" (8460/5160) labels. I hope I explained this to where it can be understood and I hope someone can help! THANKS in advance! |

In the Zoom section of the FilePrint dialog, make sure that No Scaling is
selected is the Scale to paper size control. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Text prints between labels
I checked and it does already have "no scaling".
I didn't think to post as to what my margins are set: top - .6, bottom - ..24, left/right - .3, gutter 0, header/footer - .5. I've done the labels in Printmaster, in Word, worked with Avery Wizard, bought a new box of labels, bought another printer (needed another one anyway), emailed Avery, asked in a newsgroup - I'm out of ideas! Is there anything else I should be checking? THANKS in advance for ANY help!!!

Text prints between labels
Do they print the same on plain paper? Sometimes the issue is with the
printer's ability to handle the label stock. Another issue is that, if there is an empty paragraph in the header of Normal.dot, this can throw label alignment off, though that shouldn't affect a page with 0.6" top margin. -- Suzanne S.

Text prints between labels
Suzanne, thanks for the response. Yes, it does it on plain paper, too. I
thought maybe it was the feeding process on the labels, but like I said, I even bought a new printer AND new labels! So with that, I'm thinking it must be something in the settings... After my last post, I had read that the header/footer should be 0. I changed my settings to that and it turned out a *little* better. What SHOULD the margin settings be? Or is there a set number?

Text prints between labels
Are you starting with the right label that you select via the Options button
on the Labels tab of the Envelopes and Labels dialog? Try renaming your Normal.dot template to Normal.old so that Word will start with a new Normal.dot template that will not have anything in its Header and Footer ranges. If you have done/do the above, you should not have to make any adjustment to the margins etc. -- Hope this helps.
