Printing labels
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 |

Thanks 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. Peter T |

Any Christmas card I receive with computer-printed labels will remain unopened. Franz |

Hi Jeff,
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? 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.

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. s. |
