Label Creator, What have you done to simple label alignment in media 9?  Having just upgraded from media 7 I was hoping the best would only get better. Not so! first problem was finding how to align my labels, not to many instructions here. Ok problem solved go to print and you find the alignment tools, best try calibration first. Perfect; now to adjust the label position. But how? I have changed the V & H settings but with no point of reference to know what point to align with I have chased circles aroungd the page with no Idea to the relevance of the figure entered in the V & H boxes. Once  figures are entered in V & H they revert to be switched off after the first print. The print preview is totally useless, throughout the whole process there is no movement to indicate actual position on page layout. I have packs of CD/DVD labels all slightly different sizes as is usual by different manufacturers, the only tool that indicates it may increase the print area is the overprint/bleeding. Not sure if this is correct but if so guess what? it does not work, all labels (well plain paper, not wasting all those labels) print at exactly the same diameter. If it is me and not the programe I should be plesed to here from anyone who knows how to line up and print on variable size labels.

Actually, Label Creator has never been any good, and it is doubtful that it will ever be.  I still use an old version of Neato Label Maker, and it works great.

Everything else in EMC 9 is great.

Don't know if this is the same problem...but.  I had a similar problem getting it to line up. When I went through the alingment steps (when you reinsert the paper) it was never even in the circle to give it the letters so it would line up. The sheet says to reinsert the page this direction with two big arrows!!! After wasting alot of paper. I said what the hell and reinserted the paper the complete opposite way it said. And then it came out right withend the letters so i could give it the line up letters. So I gave it the the letters and withend 1 min. all was lined up perfect!! .................Hopes this helps!!
