Try printing on plain paper and see if that is correct. Many of the less
expensive ink jet printers have problems with accurately feeding label
stock.

I couldn't get the pitch correct with plain paper either. However I solved
the propblem by moving from my laptop to a desktop (9 months older) also with
Word 2003 on it. I used exactly the same data base and the labels came out
fine - same printer too. I'd really like to be able to print labels off my
laptop. Any thoughts?

Make sure that in the Printer Properties dialog, you have the right size of
paper set A4 or Letter as the case may be, and/or, under
Tools>Options>Print, clear the box against "Allow A4/Letter paper resizing"

Unchecking the "Allow A4/Letter paper resizing" did the trick. Thank you
very much indeed. But please could you explain to me what it means and why
I might want to put the tick back in it?
