printing avery labels
I want to print addresses on Avery labels #5164. The labels I am printing
have a preprinted origination mailing address on the top half. When I place the destination address, my choices of placement are aligned to the top, or all the way to the bottom. How do I place my destination address so it's centered, midway, in the bottom half? i.e. How do I have a top margin of 1.75" on my destination address? thanks |

printing avery labels
How do I do that? When I add carriage returns to the top of the address, the
whole label template shifts down, as opposed to just the address moving within the template. This leads to a lot of trial and error instead of accurate placement. thanks!

printing avery labels
Hi shank
What Graham tried to tell you -- probably not realizing that you wouldn't recognize the term -- is to select the first paragraph of the label, open the Format Paragraph dialog, and change the number in the Space Before box. (If you're doing this within the Labels dialog, you should right-click the first line of the address and select Paragraph to open the dialog. After you click OK, the address will "disappear" -- you have to scroll the Address box to see it again.) When you change the number, Word will assume it represents "points" (1 point = 1/72 inch) unless you type a double-quote character or the abbreviation "in" at the end. So type either 1.75" or 1.75in as your entry. Also, if you meant the 1.75" to be from the top of the page rather than from the top of the label, you need to subtract the existing 0.5" top margin from that value, so enter 1.25" instead. Finally, the Label dialog creates the label text in a table, with the default vertical cell alignment set to Centered. In order to use the Space Before setting properly, the vertical alignment has to be changed to Top. In the Label dialog, click New Document instead of Print. In the document that creates, select the table, right-click it, select Cell Alignment, and click the top-left icon. Try printing the address on plain paper and comparing its position to the open area on the preprinted label stock until you get it right. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org shank wrote: How do I do that?
