The usual causes of label misalignment (that are not printer feed issues)
are unmatched paper sizes in the printer driver and label layout, the use of
a zoom setting in the print dialog, and a paragraph mark in the page header
of normal.dot. To check for the latter, start Word in safe mode (hold the
CTRL key while starting) and recreate the label document.

If you print onto a plain sheet of paper and hold it up to the
light in front of a sheet of label stock, do the labels line up
correctly? If yes, then the problem is not with Word, but with
your printer being unable to correctly feed the thicker label stock.

I have set up 5 rows of 2 labels
Top/bottom margins 13.5mm
Side margins 15mm
Label height 54mm
Label width 85mm
Offset or pitch 95mm

The labels when printed are only about 52mm in height and the top
margin is less than 13.5 mm.

The result is unacceptable as, by the time it gets to the bottom
lable on the page the label starts about 10mm too soon and the
bottom of the label does not print at all.

Printers are HP LazerJet 5L and HP OfficeJet G55.

It seems that the page of labels is being reduced by about 10%
