ACC: Mailing Label Wizard Cuts Off First Field at Top of Page

Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q90858

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

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

The first line on each page in a mailing label created with the Report Wizard may not be printed or show in Print Preview. Forms and reports may also exhibit this behavior.

CAUSE

All printers have nonprintable areas. Microsoft Access reads the default Windows printer driver to determine what to print or to show in Print Preview. If the label layout exceeds the printable area, the labels will be truncated and the first line will not be printed.

RESOLUTION

If you experience this problem, you should increase the height of your page header to align your labels. In some cases the first row of labels will be unusable.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.x and 2.0. This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.
