Avery Address Labels J8160 and Word 2003
"Andrew Mawby" <andrew[ at ]mawbya.plus.com> 11/22/2008 1:45:00 PM
Hi there!

I've used Mail Merge in Word 2003 to print addresses on Avery J8160 labels,
but they don't align properly when printed.

I've selected J8160 in from the Avery A4 and A5 sizes menu but the further
down the page it prints, the more misaligned the labels become and by the
final row the addresses span 2 labels.

Has anyone had this same problem and can help?

Thanks,

Andrew

1. You have added a header/footer to normal.dot (rename normal.dot)
2. The page size 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.
