Printing CD Labels

[jomarie27]

Tried unsuccessfully to print CD labels using Avery Design and Print and Avery J8676 labels (2 round disc labels).  These are printing out from the PDF too far right and too far down and try as I repeatedly have, I cannot see a way to correct this.  Am I missing an adjustment somewhere?

Thank you for your detailed reply but this solution still came up out of alignment for the CD labels.  I got round it in the end by selecting another Avery  template, this time in Word 2010 and after a lot of faffing, got it designed and this one lines up perfectly - so don't know what the problem is with the Design and Print templates.

You are welcome.

Frankly, in many cases, just using a different template is a wise choice.  Smiling.

Happy Printing!
