Best way to handle printing to Avery labels

**suzkaw** · May 4, 2005 07:16

I am trying to create a popup page to print little cards to Avery labels. I can get the page to work out but it always prints the margins to far over so it doesn't fit in the cells. I was wondering if any one new any resources to give details on how to accomplish this or of another method?

I have also tried creating a dynamic word doc but then the user could change the text values which wouldn't work.

Can you use a style sheet to adjust the margins to fit the label?

I have tried but couldn't get it to work using those either. Here is the code from the page incase you might see anything that would cause this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">

<TITLE>Couture Bridal - Your source for all things BRIDAL!</TITLE>
<style type="text/css">

        margin-top:1.7cm;

I wanted to do this and spent hours buggering about with it. The problem I had is that sometimes I print just one label and the other times anything up to the whole sheet so how do I use the un-used ones.

I gave up and embedded a word doc Avery template into the a page that formated all the stuff I wanted to print and then pasted it in to the right box and hit print.

Not a good solution as it is time consuming but all I could come up with.

A full on solution to allow you to specify which section which address in would save a bucket load of people a hell of a lot of time.
