I have just done my labels too - only using Avery 8165 (I just happened to have some in the drawer) It worked find, but I too found the printing started right on the edge - and I couldn't see any way to change this other than adding spaces manually. I had to add a blank line at the top for the same reason. Or is there a way that I have missed?
