mailmerge printing problems Pam 12/2/2008 4:12:00 PM Help. I think I have word 2003 and Windows somwthing? Forgive me I am very new at this. I have created a mailmerge mailing labels. When I go to print the labels are too far up off the label. When I increased the top margin the first page was fixed but pages 2,3,4 are still messed up. THank you! Pam

Re: mailmerge printing problems "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 12/2/2008 5:48:30 PM It suggests that you have changed a significant setting in normal.dot (the global template) which labels use as its defaults. And when you mailmerge, each page is a separate section, so you would have to correct every section. Easiest though is to rename normal.dot as normal.bad and recreate your merged labels. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Pam" <Pam[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BB6EA501-0D22-4212-95EE-3E7CD92ACCEE[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: mailmerge printing problems "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 12/3/2008 9:05:45 AM 1. You have added a header/footer to normal.dot (rename normal.dot) 2. The page sizse set in the printer properties doesn't match the page size of the label sheet. 3. You have a scaling option set in the zoom section of the print dialog 4. Your printer has poor paper handling. Some printers will slip when faced with label stock are incapable of feeding the label correctly. Cleaning the rollers in the print path may help. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Pam wrote: [Quoted Text] > Help.
