Trouble printing Avery labels

In older versions of Word, Avery provided an add-on wizard which made it very easy to fill and print any of their labels.  With Word 2019, I can still select the correct file folder label using the Word mail function, but when I go to print the undersized page using the manual slot on my printer, the text prints far to the left.  Would like some advice.  Note:  Avery customer service was unable to help me.

  • AD5908 Click on Options on the Envelopes tab of the Envelopes and Labels dialog and then on Printing Options and change the way in which Word thinks the labels are being fed into the printer.

      My printer was already set to this option, and I have no problems printing envelopes this way.  In fact, it is my default.  However, it does not work with the labels.  Very strange.

      • What Avery Label Number are you using?

        On the Labels tab of the Envelopes and Labels dialog, can you click on New Document and upload a copy of the document that is produced. If you are using Mail Merge to populate the labels, use the Edit Individual Documents destination from the Finish & Merge dropdown in the Finish section of the Malings tab of the ribbon and upload a copy of the document that is created.
