SUMMARY
When you print multiple copies of a single page of labels, the top margin increases by .25 inch for each successive page.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works for Windows version 3.0. This problem was corrected in Works for Windows version 3.0a.

There are two workarounds for this problem:
 * 1) Specify only one copy in the print dialog box and send the print job to the printer as many times as necessary to print the number of copies you need. -or-


 * 1) Fill the information down in the database to create as many records as you need to print on the labels.



MORE INFORMATION

 * 1) Open a new Word Processor document.
 * 2) From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.
