label does not fit on one page!

[Attila]

Hi everybody!

When I am creating a new document from a standard (Zweckform) label, it does
not fit on one page.
e.g. I use the "Zweckform 3658" label. that is a office standard label. the
new documemt, created from this label, is 2 pages long. the label does not
start from the very top of the page, thus the last row of the labelsetup is
on the next page. now the point is, that the same label works on one
computer, but does not work on another. Some Zweckform labels work on all
computers, some don't.
thanks for any help!

Do you have a header in normal.dot? Temporarily rename normal.dot to
oldnormal.dot and see if it prints correctly.

Hi Graham,
thanks for your help.
the normal.dot does have a header! the normal.dot does print normally. it
is not a printing issue, I think. the label is seperated onto two pages in
WinWord itself, not when the labels are printed out!

Pay attention to what Graham is telling you. In Word 2002 and 2003, if you
have *ever* had a header in Normal.dot, you can't get rid of the header
paragraph, and it throws label spacing off. Try setting the header margin of
your labels to 0".

If you have a header in normal.dot, the label layout, which uses normal.dot,
will never line up correctly.

Hi Suzanne,
I set the "top margin" to 0, I hope that was what you meant. still, not
all labels are split onto two pages. e.g. Zweckform 3734 does fit onto 1 page.
thanks for your help Suzanne and yes.. I am trying to pay attention!!

I understand... I will try it with an "unspoiled" normal.dot again. Thanks a
lot, you guys were wounderful!!

YIPPIE!! that was it! thanks a lot... I found an "unspoiled" normal.dot and
reapplied that one. it works now!
