Default PRINT PREVIEW DISTORTION

I created a CD label in Publisher that employed a single spiral figure that I
copied and pasted multiple times to encircle the hole at the center of the CD
label. I very carefully spaced these, and when I look at the label in print
preview they appear evenly spaced. However, when the label is PRINTED, the
spirals are not evenly spaced at all. This is very annoying, because I am
designing "blind" by not being able to accurately see in Print Preview what
is going to be printed .

Ideas?

======================================
Might be worth a try to search the support website
of your printer mfg. for an updated driver.

Maybe the following articles will help you troubleshoot the problem:

you may experience when you try to print to a
local printer by using Office programs in Windows XP

Select your spiral, right-click, format object, size tab. Is the object really
round?
Is the object a true spiral (coil) or concentric circles?
Can you ungroup if they are circles and resize?
