labels do not print correctly
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% |

labels do not print correctly
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 tried printing the labels with border lines but they still do not line
up "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: 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?

labels do not print correctly
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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Alan Blake Thomas wrote: I have tried printing the labels with border lines but they still do not line up "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: 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?

labels do not print correctly
I am using DecAdry SCW-6260 labels 250 g/m2, in the packet there was a
template with the measurements I gave originally. I have measured the labels and the measurements are correct. I have printed my labels out on ordinary 80 gm2 paper and measured them - the result was that they were about 52mm in height although the row height in the table was set to 54mm exactly and I even tried 55mm but it still would not work "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: Which label are you using? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Alan Blake Thomas" wrote in message ...

labels do not print correctly
I have had this same problem and what fixed it was going into normal.dot and
going into print options, then deselecting the 'allow resize for A4/Letter'. And also changed normal.dot page setup to A4 from Letter. :-) "Graham Mayor" wrote: 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.
