Well, MS Word does indeed use all 30 lables on the 8160 format sheet. So the
comments about the bottom margin are not valid. I have a deskjet 952 that
has the same 1/2" bottom restriction.

Access seems not able to set itself up for the 8160 even tho it allows you
to select the 8160 as a format. It also seems to have a minimum left/right
margin of .250 whan in fact they can be 0.

How do we bring this to the attention of MS so it can be resolved?
