Printing L6163 labels
by WG9yYm9UaGUgR2Vlaw » Fri, 11 Nov 2005 01:41:09 GMT
I mail merge my addresses happily from excel to Word. I set up the document
for Avery L7163 labels with no problems. I set up the fields with no
problems. I merge it all with no problems. It looks fine on the screen.
I do a trial printing them onto plain paper with no problems, but as soon as
I print on to the actual label sheets, it all slips up, so is out of kilter
with the label edges. It does this regardless of how I try to compensate for
this in the layout. It is driving me insane.
In desperation I then printed the labels with no problems at all using
another computer with Word97 installed.
Is this a known glitch? is there a remedy?

It's a problem with the paper feed mechanism of the printer - not with Word.
The trial printing to plain paper confirms that.

Hello Caroline,
The answer depends on a number of things that you haven't mentioned, so it's
difficult for us to help yet.
Do you have a Word template yet for the size of labels you possess? Is this
just a one-off, or will you be wanting to do it with different names later?
If not a one-off, do you know anything about mailmerge?
What version of Word are you using, and what operating system (e.g. Mac OS
10.x.x)? These will affect the answer.
Please provide details as comprehensively as possible.
In the absence of specific advice yet, you might like to query Word's Help.
I tried "labels" and got many articles that may well provide what you need.
I probably won't be the person who provides more information, because of the
time-zone factor.

3.Need print a simple list of names into address labels w/ one name per label
I have a word doc with 112 names in a list, hard returns separating
each name. I need to print each name on an address label. I've tried
to figure out how (shouldn't this be a simple process!?) with no luck.
Can someone help or point me to some good instructions? Thanks in
advance!
