First two labels accross are ok, and from then on address is not in centre of
label, and each row is more out of alignment

It appears to be a default template with set margins, I tried setting the
page to all zeros but it wouldn't let me change; how do you change template

Can you/will you send that file to me? Let me see if I can see what's going
on with it. (I'm a visual sort.)

That would be great; my daughter tried to help me but got the same results as
I. What is your email address?

What happens if you print to a plain piece of paper? Slippage vertically and
horizontally suggests a problem with the paper handling of the printer. Some
printers are poor when handling labels. Does your printer have a switch for
use with thicker papers (usually on the right of the carriage). Try setting
it in the alternative position.

Collyj sent me her file. I compared it to the Word template and they were
the same. I went to the Avery UK website and downloaded their template for
that label. They were different. I emailed her back with that template
attached and just got a response. Because of the time difference she had
just finished breakfast and hasn't had a chance to test it yet. :)

It was the horizantal slippage that concerned me. If a label sheet tracks
out horizontally then that is a fair indication of poor printer handling.

Have exhausted all avenues; even went to Avery site and downloaded a "wizard"
for Word and followed instructions -still printed out the same. Have other
priorities on my agenda now, so will leave it till when my plate is emptier
and try again.Thanks for tips.
