Why do labels print too low in Word 2007?

[Lion Six]

I am trying to print a page of return address labels in Word 2007. I select
the proper type of label (Avery 5160) but no matter what I try, the labels
print a half inch too low, wasting the sheet. I have tried changing the top
margin; no good. I have tried reducing or eliminating the vertical pitch;
this does not work at all (i.e., as soon as I click "Okay" it returns to its
default vertical pitch). I have tried creating a new label from scratch; same
problem. The only way I can print the labels correctly is to send the sheet
to a "new document" and then manually tinker with the top margin. This wastes
a lot of paper and takes a lot of time!

How do I get Word 2007 to print the labels in the proper vertical alignment?
Word 2003 seems to have been much superior to the new product in this feature.

There are some anomalies relating to label merges with Word 2007 that this
