Word 2007 Label Alignment

Yes, exactly the same thing happens. This is so hard to describe. Picture a
block of three lines of text. The left edge of the first two lines is moved
two or three characters to the left. But rather than having these two or
three characters print to the left of the left edge of the label, they are
simply truncated. Everything that prints is within the label, but the
characters that would be outside the label are simply missing. The third
line of text is all printed and is exactly where it should be on the label.
In the labels dialog box the text looks fine. If I right-click on each line
and click "paragraph", nothing is out of the ordinary.

It sounds as if the characters that are being truncated are outside the
printer's printable area.

The same thing happens for the middle column of labels and the right column
of labels. Those areas are definitely within the printable area. I wish
there was a way to upload a picture of the sheet. It would be so much easier
to see than me trying to describe it.

Perhaps the first line has a negative left indent?

Yes, I thought of that. If I right-click the first line just before printing
the label, the left indent is zero. Is there somewhere else to look?

No, but something weird is certainly going on. If you'd like to send me a
sample doc, I'll take a look.
