MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / March 2004Problem with labels
I have Word 2003. I cannot seem to get labels to print correctly on the page. I have checked and triple checked that I am using the correct template (in this case Avery 8160 / 5160) and no matter what I do, the lables start printing about an inch down from the top of the page. I have never used Word 2003 before - Word 2000 being my last version and had no problems. Is there some setting I need that tells Word 2003 where to begin? Again, I have gone over the options of the label template itself and all looks well. I also know this is not a printer problem because I tried this on two different printers. Can anybody help? Do you have a header in your normal.dot template? Even just a header with a few paragraph marks in it?

I mean, I know that documents come with headers and that, in the page setup, you can work with the setup of these headers. If I have a header, I don't know it's there. All I did was cut/paste the address into a Word 2003 doc, highlight the address, went into Envelopes/Labels and proceeded from there. Like I've done a hundred times in previous versions of Word. Not sure what to check. Thanks for your help so far. Li >-----Original Message----- >Do you have a header in your normal.dot template? Even just a header with a [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >. In Print Layout view, click on the ? button and see if there are any "greyed-out" ?s at the top of the page. Or, with Word not running, locate and rename the normal.dot template to normal.old and then restart Word and try you labels again.

It came back unsent. In short - I tried what you suggested - there are no greyed out areas and, renaming normal.dot didn't help either. Not sure I like this new Word 2003 <harumph>. Any other suggestions? >-----Original Message----- >In Print Layout view, click on the ¶ button and see if there are any >"greyed-out" ¶s at the top of the page. > [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > >. Hi Liana, Send me a document containing a page or so of the labels and I will look at it. It might however be that you need an updated driver for your printer. I am 99.9% certain that there has been no change in Word in this area between 2000 and 2003.

Hi Doug I'm sure it's some setting that I have that isn't right, not Word 2003. I just got a brand new computer (Dell), preinstalled MSOffice. That's why this is so frustrating... In any case, I sent the info you requested. Did you get it? I'm still not sure about your email addy. Thanks again. Li >-----Original Message----- >Hi Liana, [quoted text clipped - 94 lines] > >. |
