Labels

We are having huge problems lining up our labels to print. Regardless of what we do we don't seem to be able to get the address to fall within the label boundaries! Please help!

RE: Labels

Hi Cat

Sounds urgent. Best way for me to help is if you send through the labels Word document. Then I can check why addresses are not fitting. Also it would help to know the labels number on the labels box such as an Avery number. If not then the label dimensions eg 3x7 height 3.81 x width 6.35 cm.

RE: Labels

We want to fit a 5 lined address on Avery Labels 3484

We have selected Avery 3484 from the list of labels it gives you in word and it still didn't line up!

What would be really useful is a blank template to fit those labels so that we can enter different addresses as and when we need to

Canyou help?

RE: Labels

Hello Cat

I'm attaching a one page template with your label size. It seemes to fit 5 lines. Just delete the text and change to the font your need. Then you can use the template for one off labels or for part of a Mailmerge. I can give help later with the mailmerge if you need it.

RE: Labels

Thank you.

They all fit and printed perfectly except the top labels - this overlaps onto the second row down, we can live with this but it would be better if it lined up properly - can you help?

Kind regards

Word tip:

Type Out a Table

Tables can be created by simply typing out a string of PLUS SIGNS (+) and MINUS SIGNS (-).

First start the row with a PLUS SIGN (+) and then type MINUS SIGN (-) until you have the column width you want. To add a new column type PLUS SIGN (+) again. When you're done type a final PLUS SIGN (+) and press ENTER.

Word turns your text into a table. To add more rows to your table, move to the last cell in the table and press TAB.

Ensure to turn on the AutoFormat feature in Word.
That is, on the Tools > AutoCorrect menu. Select the AutoFormat As You Type tab and select the Tables check box.
