centering labels

[John Sylvanus]

In Word 2003 my labels centered perfectly. with 2007, i have been unable to
get them to center at all. i set the manufacturer's settings in the options
tab and the labels print 1/2 off the top. if i move the cursor down 1 line
they print 1/2 off the bottom. i have tried the right click/alignment setting
and that is exactly the same. is there any way to get 2007 to work?

1. You have added a header/footer to normal.dotm (rename normal.dotm)
2. The page size set in the printer properties doesn't match the page size
of the label sheet.
3. You have a scaling option set in the zoom section of the print dialog
4. Your printer has poor paper handling. Some printers will slip when faced
with label stock and thus are incapable of feeding the label correctly.
Cleaning the rollers in the print path may help.

They work almost identically in Word 2007 as previous versions. It sound as
though either you have change normal.dot or have an incompatible printer
driver.

What happens if you start Word in Safe Mode? From Start | Run, type in

winword /a

and press enter. Open a sheet of labels and test now. Are they OK?

There seems to be some difference in how vertical alignment is handled in
W2003 & 2007. See this thread:

I hadn't discovered that because I never use the label wizard. I always
create my own label templates for the few labels I use. I never did like the
envelope or label wizard.
