The Word Office program on this new Dell laptop doesn't show the lines for
each of the different label sizes which makes creating labels on a blank page
a real challenge. I've tried different things to get the "lines" to appear
to no avail. Please help as I've ruined untold numbers of labels by getting
"off" the track and being unable to "see" where what I type will print.

Table | Show Gridlines.

Labels in Word are tables - you can display the on-screen gridlines with
Table Show Gridlines. If you want to print those gridlines you will have
to create a new document from the label wizard then add borders to the table
cells.
