when printing - page breaks ignored.

I'm printing labels and it's 69 pages. When I print , it ignores the page
breaks and/or section breaks. Prints as one continuous document. I've
switched printers. I've recreated the document from scratch using Word's
Labels Options and put all the correct margins in as instructed from the
packaging. I've changed drivers from PCL to PS. I've even recreated the
document which was originall in 2003 into 2007. Help! Any ideas. Thanks.

AND/OR SECTION BREAKS AND/OR RETURNS. WT Hell is going on here. Help.

Unless you have the label options set to 'continuous page printer' in the
labels dialog, and you print on continuous paper, I don't see how this can
occur. Word can only ever print a page to a maximum of 22 inches long. What
actually happens when you print the labels to a sheet printer?
If the labels don't line up correctly the usual suspects are:
1. You have added a header/footer to normal.dot (rename normal.dot)
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.
Clearly some of those don't apply if you output to PDF.
Which label outline are you using?
