how do I make labels suit the page?
I have tried to customise a page of labels (entered all the correct
dimensions) but they are not set out all they should be in print preview or when printed. I do not have the serial number of the labels, there are 3 wide 10 down. |

That's the 5160/8160 label. (And other numbers as well)

they are all too close together for the size of the label, so they don't sit
in the right place on the page. you mention label numbers - are they avery? as I am in China I have some unbranded labels but I could try those.

how do I make labels suit the page?
If you can't find an exact match from the many label layouts provided, then
it's a simple matter with the aid of a ruler to create your own based on an A4 label type. From the envelope/labels dialog options new label. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org anne wrote: i just check those numbers but they are letter size paper and I have A4 size.

that's is what I did first but even with all the correct measurments it still
doesn't 'fit' properly - extremely frustrating.

Your labels might be equivalent to Avery J7158/L7158. 64 x 26.7
mm, 3 across x 10 down, 30 labels per A4 sheet. I don't think Word includes a pre-defined template for this label size. anne wrote: that's is what I did first but even with all the correct measurments it still doesn't 'fit' properly - extremely frustrating.

What do you mean by 'it doesn't fit'? From the envelope/label dialog, once
you have selected your new label - click the new document button to give you a table. Format all the cells to have a border. Print this page on thin plain paper. Hold it over the label sheet. Note where it doesn't line up and adjust the labels and the page margins to suit. Note that you may not be able to print the extreme left and right borders as most printers will not print to the edge of the page. Transfer the measurement changes to your custom label settings and/or remove the borders from the document and save that document as a template, which you can use with mail merge etc. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org anne wrote: that's is what I did first but even with all the correct measurments it still doesn't 'fit' properly - extremely frustrating.

how do I make labels suit the page?
ok, I've done all that and despite putting in the correct measurements the
first few are sort of in the right place but overall they are too close together and therefore doesn't print in the middle of each label, it gets worse the lower down the page it goes. I could try just 'guessing' a number that might spread them out but that seems ridiculous after measuring the required distances corrently. "Graham Mayor" wrote: What do you mean by 'it doesn't fit'?

how do I make labels suit the page?
Check that the document page size and the printer page size are both set to
A4 and that there is no zoom setting in the print dialog. Note that the printer driver may not reflect the accuracy you have set from your ruler and sometimes small adjustments are necessary. Also many printers have some difficulty handling labels and slippage occurs. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org anne wrote: ok, I've done all that and despite putting in the correct measurements the first few are sort of in the right place but overall they are too close together and therefore doesn't print in the middle of each label, it gets worse the lower down the page it goes.

thanks, I've done all that and after the first disaster with labels have only
used plain paper to try to get the settings right. I have tried this on two different computers and printers too, so it's really strange.

Anne, I think that I have encountered the same problem as you. Consequently I

sorry John, I had to give up and buy branded labels with a number that was
already in word and it worked just fine. still can't see why it wouldn't work when I entered all the correct measurements.
