My apologies for having to have run out to do some errands! The plastic sleeve that the name tag goes in is 3 3/4in x 2 5/8. The name cards themselves, that the other secretaries used with an Avery kit, are 3 3/8 x 2 1/2 in. I have clicked on several sizes and it doesn't seem to change when I go to print them. What keeps printing is 2 7/8 x 1 5/8 in.

no worries about missing the SAA! Hope you don't mind my persistence with this. I am hoping that in the end, I have a clear understanding of how to produce the name tags I want and can pass that onto the other officers. Right now, the gals who have made them are paying out of pocket to buy the Avery kits. It will keep personal expensed down if we can just use paper and the website to print.

Best,

Gillian

The layout template dimensions do not match what you have selected in the drop down, so you will have issues. The two have to match. Otherwise you are trying to force your layout to fit in table cell dimensions that are for a different layout.

There is no way I could think of to force those to match when I created this feature... you have to do that manually.

sigh...ok. :unsure: But why does the one for 4 inches not print at 4 inches on my printer? I thought maybe I could crop it in the cutting of it, but it is not even close to 4 inches.

Thank you so much for persevering with me on this issue. Very kind of you.

Well, if you are having problems, then other people will be having problems, also... I have an interest in reducing problems.

What are your browser margins set at? Your browser could be shrinking the nametags to fit a smaller printable area because of margins.

Do you mean within the FTH name tag options or within my Google Chrome browser?

Google Chrome settings.

I use Chrome, also, so if you can give me a chance to get home from my day job, i will take a look and see what I can figure out.
