SYMPTOMS

When you create labels with the Microsoft Works Word Processor, and you select Avery standard, 4161 or 4167 labels (or other dot matrix labels that have a non-standard width), and you then print to a dot matrix printer, the labels are printed right-aligned instead of left-aligned.

The labels appear left-aligned when you click Print Preview on the File menu.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because something other than Tractor Feed is selected in the Paper Source box.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  1. Start Works Word Processor, and then create the labels that you want.
  2. On the File menu, click Print.
  3. In the Print dialog box, click Properties.
  4. Click the Paper/Quality tab.
  5. In the Paper Source box, select Tractor Feed.
  6. Click OK, and then click OK again to print the labels.
