= SUMMARY =

The bottom of page 175 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual incorrectly states “If you are using 12-point characters… you can print five lines per 1-inch label.”

This line should read “…you can print six lines per 1-inch label.” This is because 72 points = 1 inch. It is possible to have 6 lines of 12 points each (6 x 12 = 72) on a 1-inch label.

While it is possible to get 72 points per inch when using 12-point line spacing, if a 12 point or larger font size is being used, the line spacing must be changed to an absolute number. For example, if absolute 12-point line spacing is desired, type “-12” into the Line Spacing box in the Format Paragraph dialog box.

For more information on line spacing, see page 266 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual.
