Label print creep
Hi,
I am having a problem printing labels. When printing the labels, the print moves vertically 2.5mm per row, so by the bottom of the page the individual label print has crept onto the label above. I have researched this problem on Microsoft's support page, where they discuss a similar problem affecting multipage prints, but mine happens on page one. I also downloaded the Avery wizard plug-in for Word but this did not solve the problem. The label contains 5 rows of text, one of which is an Email link, when viewed in Print Preview the page is perfect. I am using Word 2000 and Avery labels L7163 my printer is a HP Laserjet 5P. I have previously printed labels with no problem. Any help solving this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks Nial |

If it worked in the past, it just maybe your paper pick up isn't what is use to be.

Usually this means that part of the process thinks that it is using A4
paper and some other part thinks that it is using Letter paper. Check the paper in the printer; check the printer properties for the size that it thinks it has; check Page Setup to see what Word thinks; check the label template to make sure you got the metric not the english version or vice-versa.

Bob you were right, the printer had set itself to Letter paper.
This is the first time I have used a newsgroup, I'm well impressed. Many Thanks Nial "Bob S" wrote in message news Usually this means that part of the process thinks that it is using A4 paper and some other part thinks that it is using Letter paper.
