--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you use the Labels PageWizard Design Assistant to create VCR face
labels or VCR spine labels and print them to Avery 5199 label stock,
the print may fall slightly outside the borders of the peel-off
labels.

CAUSE
=====

The Page Options setting for the VCR labels are incorrect.

RESOLUTION
==========

Before you print your labels, do the following:

1. On the File menu, click Print.

2. Click Page Options.

3. Click Custom Options.

4. Manually enter the following values:

                      VCR Spine Label     VCR Face Label
                      ---------------     --------------
   Top Margin               0.5"               0.9"
   Side Margin              1.3"               1.1"
   Horizontal Gap           0.0"               0.2"
   Vertical Gap             0.0"               0.0"

5. Click OK to return to Page Options.

6. Click OK to return to the Print dialog box

7. Print your publication.

After you have printed your publication correctly and saved it, the
new page options settings are saved with your publication. If,
however, you run the PageWizard again to make a new label publication,
you will have to repeat these steps.
