Access 2000 Label VS Word 2000 Labels

[Benny Wong]

Hello All,
I am using Microsoft Access 2000. I have created the report which is using the Avery Label using 5160. There are four rows for the label. The format is:

Row 1: First Name Last Name, Title
Row 2: Organization
Row 3: AltAdddress1
Row 4: City, State Zip

My question is in Access Row 1 data overlaps into row 2 and everything else is moved down to the next row.
I am having a hard time tweeking it for 5 rows as well since this label supports only four rows. I have tried
truncate the Row 1 data by counting how many characters
across first name, last name, and title, but the client
doesn't like the idea.
The client tried mailmerge into Microsoft Word 2000 and the label fits and now the client is complaining that Access can't do the job and I don't have the answer or clue
to fix this problem in Access. I have tried to adjust it manually and tweeking the properties of can grow and can shrink but no fix.
Thanks for any help or suggestion in advance.

How is it that Word is able to complete the line? Using a different font? Is the left margin smaller on the mailmerge version?

One option might be to decrease the default margins used by Access. I have a label report which successfully puts all five lines on the label when a "Company" line is included in the address (alignment is critical).
