I went to "envelopes and labels" to make custom labels to print out and
adhere to my home brew bottles. I have 6 labels per page, but when I print
them, the outline box or just lines that surround the graphics in my word
document don't print out. I would like to use these lines as a template when
I go to slice/cut the paper, but have been unable to figure this out - Any
thoughts?

Thanks.

Yes. Save the labels to a new document, select the entire table (the label
feature uses a table as a container for the labels), and choose Format -
Borders and Shading - Borders tab, Grid.

Note that the ones you see that don't print are just displayed for your
convenience and can be toggled on/off using Tables - Show Gridlines/Hide
Gridlines.

Note also that the labels are designed to work with pre-cut peel-and-stick
labels so that you don't have to cut them yourself. But, if there are no
prefab labels that work for your bottles, then I guess you're stuck (so to
speak) using the paper cutter.
