label

I've been doing mail merges lately and we use labels that aren't listed in the default MS Word settings:

Universal UNV-80120 labels box

I tried measuring them out and here is what I got:

Universal UNV-80120 labels measurements (by me and my ruler)

Despite measuring them they don't seem to fit, and I always end up having to adjust the heights so that they print correctly. When I do this and I have 24 pages or so of labels I have to adjust each page individually and it all gets a bit annoying.

So I was wondering if anyone had the proper measurements (since mine didn't work) or if maybe someone knew how to adjust the height of the columns of every page in exactly the same way to avoid using more labels.
