Printing of address labels
I use an HP LaserJet 6L printer, fitted with a Centre Adjustable Spacing
(CAS), to allow the printing of envelopes and labels. I use Avery J8163 labels, which comes as an (almost) A4 size sheet, with two columns of seven labels, each label being '99.1x38.1mm' in size. Normally, when I want to print out a single label (after designing and selecting a single J8163 label) I cut the J8163 sheet in half, removing the small top and bottom portions and put it (1x7 labels) into the CAS. Using Word 2002, previously used Office '97, I had no problems, as I would get my single printed label at the top of this strip of seven labels. However, using this procedure with Word 2003 (from Office 2003), I ran into problems. Because the J8163 sheet has two columns, default being one, and with the CAS being in the centre, the printing would occur on the far LHS of the label with only the small amount of the printing occurring on the label. Similarly, setting the column to two, printing would occur on the far RHS, with only a small amount of the printing appearing on the label. I tried designing a label, which I imagine is the solution, but I ended up with a label size bigger than its sheet, which I did solve. I did try the entire page of J8163, leaving on the top and bottom strips, but the printing went a bit haywire, due to the vertical spacing being a bit out, with half an address on one label and half on another label (in the same column). Any suggestions please? John |

Printing of address labels
Why don't you just leave the sheet of labels intact and specify the row and
column number of the label that you want to print in the Labels dialog? -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Printing of address labels
Thanks, I tried that and that works Ok.
Still trying to get the single sheet printed off, as it did work before but not now. I now notice that after I select the address, in Word, to print out, it is not stored in the Label buffer; so I have to re-select the address's folder.
