I have correctly specified the label type - and size is right, but when I
print out the labels, they start to misalign vertically - so only the top two
if 16 can be used. Any ideas???

Try printing the labels to a sheet of plain paper, fed from the printer's
main paper source rather than via any by-pass paper feeder. If those the
print on that sheet of paper is aligned correctly, your problem is caused by
the paper feed mechanism in the printer and there is nothing that Word can
really do about it.

Depending on the interpretation of your description, you either have a
printer feed problem with the label stock, or you have different paper sizes
defined for the labels print options and the printer itself.

Thanks for your help. It was a paper selection problem- even though A4 had
been selected in word, it had defaulted to something else when I actaully
went to print. Happend on another persons machine as well.
