I am trying to print xmas card labels and have read graham mayor's web site
with interest. This seems to be consistent with my problem - was OK til I
migrated to Word 2002. The symptom is the printed labels "move up" the page
and thus print between label spacing. Driving me mad - just need the final
piece of the jigsaw to explain what I am doing wrong pls.

Is your mailmerge main document set up for the labels that you are printing
to?

It may be a printer problem, but you may be able to overcome it by adjusting
the label details in the maindocument (in effect creating a custom label
layout).

Check that the page layout and the printer driver both have the same paper
size set and that the print option has no scaling options set.
