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

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:

Using the status bar in Word

The status bar (the grey area at the bottom of the Word screen) tends to be underutilised as most people are not familiar with what it can be used for. Here are a shortcuts that can be accessed through the status bar:

Double-click the page number or section number on the status bar to open the Find and Replace feature.

Double-click REC to stop recording a macro.

Double-click TRK to turn Track Changes on or off.

Double-click EXT to turn extension mode on or off when selecting text.

Double-click OVR to turn off Overtype mode. Overtype is where you type and the text in front of your cursor gets replaced by the text you are currently typing, one character at a time. This usually gets turned on accidently when the Insert key is inadvertently pressed.

Double-click Language to change the Language format to something different.

Double-click the Spelling and Grammar Status icon to begin fixing spelling or grammatical errors.
