The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you are using Microsoft Access Report Wizards for mailing labels, note that the Avery labels 4xxx series are intended for dot-matrix printers and the 5xxx series are intended for laser printers. The dot-matrix (or continuous) labels will be printed incorrectly when they are printed on a laser printer.

CAUSE

These labels are meant for dot-matrix printers and their sizes do not match the standard page sizes available for laser printers.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
