Creating some largish font labels (25)

but for every complete landscapelayout A4 sheet
another spews from printer completely blank

I'm guessing its a border/margin problem but don't know
how to make it stop.




please make it STOP

Did you use the print preview to see the page prior to printing?

If so did you see your text on the page?

If you have used a table to create a label in each cell the problem probably lies in an extra line immediately after the table. If the table fills the page the extra line will appear on a new blank page.
Click on the paragraph marker symbol (it looks a bit like a backward P) on the standard toolbar to display all the hidden characters. If this appears on a new page that is the reason.

You have a number of solutions if that is the problem
1. Reduce the bottom margin of the page to include this line
2. Reduce the font size of the line. Highlight the line and set the point size to 1 by entering it in the font size list box on the formatting toolbar. The smallest displayed is probably 8 but you can enter a smaller value.
3. A combination of both.

Another thing to remember is cell borders have a width even if you have set the table to have none. I can't remember the value off the top of my head but I think it is a 1/4 point.

Easiest way is just to tell it to print page 1.

Could also be happening because there is a mismatch of paper sizes between the printer settings and document settings. Word by default usually assigns a paper size of "Letter" (the US standard) rather than "A4" if you don't tell it to.
