MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / April 2007Word 2007 prints labels in the wrong place
I'm trying to print a page of Avery L7160 labels, but the same problem occurs when I try to print a table. Word is not placing the text where I specified. The L7160 sheet is printing abot 2mm too high. When I created a table exactly the same size as the sheet of labels Word 2007 ignored the header margin I specified (1.6cm) and printed with a margin of about 3cm. How can I bring Word to heel?  SignatureSteve Franks Labels are usually designed for a header margin of 0". But make sure that the label definition and your printer are set for the right size paper (Letter vs. A4).

The printer default is A4, the label template margin is outside my control, but the template was designed for A4 paper. If I print a whole sheet with my name and address, the top half of my name is outside the label area. I tried to replicate the labels using a table, because I only needed a couple of labels. Word started printing 14 mm below the top of the label. SignatureSteve Franks > Labels are usually designed for a header margin of 0".

There is no need to "replicate the labels using a table." You can get the same effect using the New Document button in the Labels dialog, which then allows you to make whatever changes you need to the margins. Ordinarily, users see a problem with labels printing too low either because the printer does not feed the label stock properly or because Normal.dot has a header. In Word 2002 and above, unfortunately, if you have ever had any content in the header of Normal.dot, you will have an empty paragraph there (taking up space) even if you delete all the text. This affects label placement. SignatureSuzanne S.
