SUMMARY

When you print multiple copies of a single page of labels, the top margin increases by .25 inch for each successive page.

WORKAROUND

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works for Windows version 3.0. This problem was corrected in Works for Windows version 3.0a.

There are two workarounds for this problem:

Specify only one copy in the print dialog box and send the print job to the printer as many times as necessary to print the number of copies you need. -or-
Fill the information down in the database to create as many records as you need to print on the labels.
