[Dxbase] problem with Avery 5160 labels and 3 qsos

Sat Feb 28 00:57:58 EST 2009

Hank,
I had a similar problem when I started using a new PC with Vista installed, 
only my labels printed slightly off the left side. Same printer, but 
apparently there's a difference in the printer drivers between my old PC 
with WinXP and the new one with Vista. My solution was to go into the label 
designer for the offending labels, select all the label elements and then 
use the right arrow key to slightly shift everything in the layout to the 
right. In your case, try using the down arrow and shift everything down a 
few pixels. You may have to play around a bit to find the best position but 
eventually you should be able to correct the problem.
