Default Fine tune the "nudge" facility.

It made no difference.

I have compensated in the horizontal direction by using the
Format/Paragraph/Indents&Spacing/Indents, and when I select
the whole table (8 labels) they move en masse to the left by
the selected amount.

Is there something similar for the vertical?

It looks like I have to redo all the labels for a printer
and keep them in a folder for that printer.

Regards, Frank

What happened when you started Word in Safe Mode: did it
still print misaligned?

Thanks, I downloaded the latest driver (Jan 10) and this
help a bit. However the problem no is that there is
displacement of the labels down the page, that is there
is too great a margin at the top of the page and this
cannot be varied with any printer settings.

Has Word2003 any way of adjusting this, which would mean
compensating for the printer's inability to grab the
paper at the very top edge?

That should not be necessary. The defined labels should
work with any printer: if they don't, then either you
have change normal.dot or the printer driver is
incompatible. To test if it is a normal.dot or
incompatible add-in rather than the printer, start Word
in Safe Mode and test print a sheet of labels.

From Start | Run (Winkey+R), type in

winword /a

and press Enter. Word will start in Safe Mode bypassing
all customisations and add-ins. Open a sheet of labels
and print now. If they are still misaligned, then you
have a bad printer or printer driver.

I have labels on an A4 sheet, and because we have a new
printer it is necessary to fine tune the position of
these.

It is hard to use the mouse for fine tuning and I
wonder if there is a 'nudge' using just the keyboard
for very fine tuning.

(I already know about suppressing the "snap to" by
pressing down the 'alt' key.)
