[LOGic] QSL LABEL REPORT

[k0dan]

Thanks to all those who replied to my inquiry about the "QSL LABELS WITH
ADDRESS, 3 ACROSS" report!

I downloaded the report from the LOGIC site, and apperently the one I was
using had been "adjusted" to the point of really being out of whack.

The report on the web site "ALMOST" works: If I put in a standard label
sheet, the first row of labels it will print approx. 1/8" high, causing the
first line to be cut off, and thus every other label on the sheet is off
miscalibrated by that amount.

The quick workaround was to cut 1/8" or so off the top edge of the label,
and this will "get by" but is a nuisance.

Someone asked if the printer paper size is set right, and yes, it is.

Someone suggested slightly adjusting the height of the header, and I will
try this, hopefully without mucking up the original report and without hours
of random trial and error!

Anyway, thanks again for the help, will advise any further success!
