I have A4 sheets of round labels which I want to print using the label
function of Word 2003. The labels are 51mm in diameter and there are 15 per
page. How do I set up the label wizard to print full sheets of the same label
with the text centered witthin each individual label?
 
With a great deal of difficulty - unless you can find a template, and from a
quick check on the web I couldn't.
You would have to setup a custom label format that assumed the labels were
51mm square (Word doesn't do round table cells) , so hopefully the sheets
have the same number of labels on each row.
 
Graham - I messed around for a while and set up a custom label as you
suggest. Finally got it to work by clicking the "new document" tab in the
"envelope and mailing" pop up AFTER I had typed in the text I wanted. This
resulted in the "labels" being displayed as a sheet which I could then
customise and centre. Wasted a few sheets of labels getting it right! It's
vital to get the vertical and horizontal pitch exact!
 
I may have a link at home that might help. I used to have a site saved that
had generic label templates and I'm pretty sure some were round. Even if it
didn't fit, you might be able to modify it for your use.

It's always a good idea to print practice runs on plain paper (holding it up
to the labels to check for a match) before wasting labels.
