Typing sideways and in colour

I need to create some labels for sample juice bottles - think like the Innocent Smoothies bottles.

I have created my labels and typed the text sideways which is all fine, the background for each label is red, but when I go to print fine white lines appear on my document which are not showing on the computer. I have tried to resave and start a new document, but these fine lines keep appearing under the text everytime I print. Is there any way to remove them?

Just a note I have printed on normal A4 paper as well to test out before putting labels into the machine but the lines still appear.

Thanks

RE: Typing sideways and in colour

Hello Dianne,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Word course with BEST Training.
Thank you for your question regarding word labels.

Given the fact that the fine white lines are appearing in both cases, you may benefit from testing the printer to see if the white lines appear in other applications.

One idea would be to create a block of colour ( fill an Excel cell and make the cell it wide and high) and print that. If you still get lines, it is the printer.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Richard

Thanks so much. We did a few tests and unfortunately it seems to be our printer! Joy! Thank you so much for your help.

I'm sure I'll be back with some more questions soon! :)

Word tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
