Question

I followed all the instructions and managed to get what I wanted, but the print does not line up with the labels when it prints. What can I do?

Community Answer

First, make sure you have selected the correct "print paper size" for your printer (American printers default to "letter", whereas most Commonwealth countries use "A4" paper). Second, you can change the margin under the format tab in the labels settings.

Press the Font key and use the Cursor key to select an item you wish to change (Font/ Size/ Width/ Style, etc.). Then, press the OK key. Press the Cursor key to select the settings you want to alter, and when you're finished, press the OK key.

How do I get a full page of labels when making it in Office Writer?

To make a number of the same label on one sheet, duplicate the label you require on the spreadsheet before registering it as a database.
