Print labels with borders Avery 3653

Jo4

I have ordered labels like Avery 3653 and I have downloaded the Avery 3653 page containing the labels however I am attempting to design the labels with a border. I am designing one label and hoping there is a magic button which will copy it into the rest of the labels on the page. Currently the label I have designed has the border outside the label. I have reduced the size of the font but it doesn't make any difference, the border is still outside the printable area of the label.

How can I print the labels with a border and replicate the image from one label to the rest of the labels on the page so they will all print properly on their own label?

Can anyone work any magic for me as I need to have these labels set up and ready to print when the labels arrive, hopefully tomorrow?

Try it in Word, you can load label templates in there. You might need to download and provide Word with your template before you can get to work, but it's not particulary difficult.

Edit: Just looked in Word 2010 and it already has Avery 3653 label templates.

I already have it downloaded and I cannot get the borders to remain within the label.

The Avery Design and Print online is very good for labels. Simply choose your label, and you can choose to edit just one or the whole page. Lots of designs including borders etc. Really easy to use. It normally opens in PDF form so you can save it to use another time.

There is always a slight variance due to the limitations of the printer (getting every sheet loaded in the same place and perfectly straight). The way to do it is to have the borders slightly overlapping the edge of each label to ensure the printing goes right to the edge. Probably better to have labels with a gap between them on the sheet to facilitate this if it's very important.

Thank you for the link, it is different to the one I was using! :T :j :beer:

Also, my printer (an HP) defaults to adding an extra border round the whole page, which means it shrinks the printable area of the page slightly and things like labels don't line up properly.
So if it still doesn't work you may find something to change in your Printer Settings
