That's exactlyu what I did. But I should not have to. I think it's a bug!
But then again, This is the first time in years I needed to print some labels :-)

Peter

>>I never do labels!
>>never never!
>>Now I remember why.
>>
>>Because the sizes given in the property sheet are not what appears on the paper
>>
>>I have to do labels!
>>I have an Avery 5384 3x4 inch label 2 columns top and bottom margin 1", side margins .25"
>>
>>On each label I have a name and a picture.
>>
>>If the top label is in the right spot, the second and third are off by an eigth of an inch
>>from one text to the next I measure 2.85" instead of 3
>>
>>Can someone tell me what gives???
>>

>Labels always need some tweaking from the standard layouts. This is because printer drivers don't always print things the same as other drivers.

>It's easy to make changes vertically. You can increase the height of the page header if the labels start too high or too low on the sheet. You can also increase or decrease the height of the detail band to change the spacing between labels.

>To change horizontal spacing, you need to go to the Page Setup option on the File menu. From there, you can make any adjustments necessary.
>
>The technique I use for tweaking is to print a row of labels across and a column down, and print 2 or 3 sheets--but I do this on plain paper. If you hold up the sheet to the light with the labels behind, you can see how they line up. That way, you don't waste your more expensive labels.
