DMM: Long Address Doesn't Fit on Small Labels

ID: Q179970


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Direct Mail Manager for Windows


SYMPTOMS

If you use Microsoft Direct Mail Manager to print mailing addresses to a small label size, long addresses may wrap to the next line of the label, cutting off the city, state, and postal code.


CAUSE

Microsoft Direct Mail Manager uses a 12 point font when creating the mailing labels. Longer addresses may not fit on smaller labels and parts of the address will be cut off.


RESOLUTION

Use a larger label, such as Avery 5160, or shorten the longer address if possible.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
