Avery 5395 Name Labels
I am trying to put a border around my name labels. Sounds easy. I first
choose Tools Letters and MailingsEnvelopes and Labels. I then select Avery 5395 and click OK. I then click New Document. I then choose FormatBorders and Shading, then select All, and the Style and Color on the border. Not so easy though--the borders actually miss the labels on the left-hand and bottom of the labels in column one and on the right-hand and bottom on the labels in column two. How can I get the borders to print evenly just inside the edge of each label? Is there an easy way to do this? I have tried to create a custom label. I have tried changing the margins. Everything I do is hit or miss, and so far I've missed every time. |

Avery 5395 Name Labels
Hi Guy,
This will be easier to do if you select Options from the Tools menu, then go to the General tab and change the Measurement units to mm. Then from the Tools menu, select Letters and Mailings, then Envelopes and Labels and go to the labels tab and click on the Options button and locate the 5395 label. Then click on the Details button and make the following changes to the dimensions shown where 'n' is the distance in mm that you want the border to be from the edge of the label/ Top Margin - Add n (e.g. for n = 3mm, change the setting from 14.8 to 15.1) Side Margin - Add n Vertical Pitch - No change Horizontal Pitch - No change Label Height - Subtract 2 n Label Width - Subtract 2 n Click on OK, OK and then New Document. Now apply a border to each cell ONE CELL AT A TIME, so that you do not have borders on the rows and columns between the actual labels. If the registration of the labels on the sheet is not exactly correct, or your printer feed is a little bit off, the border might not appear equidistant from the edge of each label. You may be able to overcome that by fiddling with the width of the columns and height of the rows. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.
