Help with Labels and Character Spacing Issues

[Michael]

I'm having trouble using a label template in Word XP/2002. When I choose
label 5366, and after I change Times New Roman to 10 points, the characters
stack up on each other. I know this sounds weird, but it's the only way to
describe it. If I change the font size to anything but 10 points, the
display (and print out) is just fine, but when it's 10, it's bad. Is this
the font? Is it the label template? I've never seen such behavior before,
and it's puzzling. The font size works just fine in any other type of Word
document, just not in this label template.

Thanks for any input,
Michael

Hi Michael,

I understand what you're describing, although I can't reproduce the behavior
here, on my installation (Word 2003). Usually, I associate this with damaged
paragraph structures in the Word document... Does the page also print the way
you see it?

Label sheets are basically tables, with exact column widths and row heights.
You can see these settings in Table/Table Properties. If you set up a table
like this label sheet in a new document, does the problem continue to occur
there?
