I absolutely must have cell margins that are at about 0.05" around the
insides of Avery-sized labels #5167. Before changing the margins, the pages of labels are aligned and positioned correctly. The instant I change them to 0.05", the rows all become misaligned and a standard sheet has a row pushed off to the next page. About halfway throught the first page, the labels contents are printing half off the labels. The text before and after the merge in no way is too much for each cell and I made sure that the "automatically resize to fit contents" option is not selected in the table options of the table properties so I'm at a loss to figure out what is going on. The labels are not always printing correctly from sheet to sheet as, I'm sure most with experience have found, different batches of labels come out slight differently placed. I've not done much mail merge or label work as was the case back in my old word-processing days, but at the time I had working templates with table margins that worked for any label batches that came along. Through trial and error one eventually finds the margins that work to the maximums of label production offset and 0.05" is about the minimum to accommodate these offsets. Certainly, 0.08" (tEventually a margin is found that accommodates all slight variations between label stocks. But if I can't change the margins and retain the integrity of labels, then I'm stuck. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I don't know what else to look at. 0.05" is not even my preference for label margins. In WP days, I'd use the standard WP size of 0.05" and I used to use 5167 even back then. Stuck and hoping someone here knows a good solution to this. Thanks! ![]() |
