I have bought some Avery J8160 labels.

I used Tools Envelopes & Labels in Microsoft Word 2000 to create a new
document whole page of one address. I set it to use that particular Avery
label (J8160) and A4 is selected in the Print Setup settings.

Unfortunately the printed addresses do not match the labels properly so some
of the address is cut off on about 6 of the 21 labels.

For info I had this problem on two computers, one running Windows 98, one
running ME. The printer (the same in both cases) is an HP Deskjet 990cxi.

I'm not sure what's going wrong. What other settings should I check and what
should they be?

Any help would be much appreciated as I have a lot of Xmas card labels I
want to get done!

Thanks

Sounds like you haven't set the label spacing correctly.

I find the best way with Christmas cards is to purchase cards that all have
the same size envelopes. And print onto the envelope via Tools/ Mail Merge
in Word, that is if you are using a data base for your address records. You
will be able to use any kind of text style and size, looks much nicer than
labels. Any size or shape of envelope can be used by setting it up in Page
Set-up Custom size.
Save it as a Document template for future use or those last minute cards you
forgot to send.

Any Christmas card I receive with computer-printed labels will remain

Hi Jeff,

One possibility is that the printer driver is interpreting the table cells
incorrectly (Word sets out labels in a table). Try downloading and installing
the most up-to-date printer driver from the HP website.

The other possibility is that the Avery Label Wizard isn't working correctly.
(MS licences this for Word to make labels). Check the Avery website whether
there isn't an updated Avery Label Wizard for your version of Word.

I have had the same problem. Make sure the labels are put in the right way.
The top is the one that has no extra paper at the end. Hope this makes sense.
In other words try putting the labels in the other way.

Hah! That's a thought that hadn't occured to me.

So you'll never see the long hand-written message inside. Sad.

I prefer to allocate my time at this busy time of year by writing the
message in the card rather than addressing the envelope. Writing the
messages takes a lot of time and thought. Writing the address merely
takes a lot of time.
