I am trying to create file folder labels in word and my second page is off.
It states that I must create a mail merge, but, I am only using one line for
my file folders. How do I get my labels to come out right on my printer?

Try using the envelopes and labels wizard and setting the option for the
labels you are using. Create a new document with the labels and type away.

I am using Microsoft Word 2002. I don't see an envelope and label wizard. I
do have a mail merge wizard. Is that want you are referring to?

When I do what you suggested my first page is good, but the remaining pages
don't have the divider between the labels making my print pages from page two
on wrong. It doesn't put in the dividers when I hit tab.

If you are creating multi-page labels especially of this type that uses
dividers, then use mail merge to create them

Assuming you are using a lebel merge, it is important to chack that Word,
the printer driver, the printer all agree about the paper size. One thing
that seems to get in the way sometimes is the "Allow A4/Letter paper
resizing" - try unchecking it. Other than that, the only suggestion I can
make is that you try adjusting the label layout (it's just a Word table)
manually.
