Label printing problem

[Robert Hall]

I am having a problem printing address labels. The width and spacing of the
columns do not match up with where the labels would fall on the page, 3
columns, 10 rows per page (am printing on plain paper for now). I have tried
to adjust settings; the only thing that has an effect is changing the
Quality setting on the Document Properties window inside the Print Merge
window. The "Best" setting makes the columns so wide, the third column is
cut off the page. The Draft setting makes the text so tiny, all three
columns only take up a third of the length of the page. The Normal setting
is in-between, but still way off.

The last time I printed these labels, I was using Win 98; I have since
upgraded to XP. Am using Publisher 2000. I cannot figure out what's going
on. Help!

In page setup, choose Avery 5160, it is the standard 10 up 3 across. In the page
setup view, click the adjust label printing options, it will show you the
measurements.

Mary,

It was already set to Avery 5160 in page setup. I accessed page options
through the Print Merge window. It's set to print multiple copies per sheet.
Everything seems to be set up correctly but I'm still having the same
problem.

Have you thought about an updated printer driver? Publisher is more demanding on
drivers than other applications. Go to the manufacturer's web site and look around.
It very well could solve your problem.

That seemed to do the trick. Thanks for your help.
