File: Printed Information Moving Off Lables
Last reviewed: October 26, 1994

Article ID: Q24414

Summary:

In Microsoft File versions 1.0x, if each subsequent record is printed progressively lower on labels in the ImageWriter (or another similar printer), it is possible that even though the label is 1/16 of an inch short of 1 inch, the distance from the top of one label to the top of the next is 1 inch. This is the distance that must be used when you are setting up your labels.

More Information:

For printing purposes in File 1.0x, the height of a mailing label is determined by the position of the hide line in the Form window. Therefore, the hide line should be set at the mark on the ruler equal to the distance from the top of one label to the top of the next label. Most mailing labels are standard sizes, such as 1 or 1.5 inches.

In File version 2.00, the Custom Setup dialog box (on the File menu) determines the height of a label. However, for the purposes of printing labels and other specialized forms, this measurement should match the position of the hide line.
