Those border lines are typically not visible when printing, but we have seen instances with certain versions of Microsoft Word for Mac that visibly print the border lines anyways. I've created a new Microsoft Word template for our product OL421 without the visible border lines. You'll still be able to see the grid lines so that you know where to place your label designs, but they will not be visible when printing.

The updated template is attached. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

What happens when you open the document in Microsoft Word on your Mac? Does it open as a blank Word document with no visible grid lines? If that's the case, you'd likely just need to find the "View Gridlines" option to enable the gridlines and make them visible.

There should be a tab titled "Layout" in the menu bar within Microsoft Word. When you click on the "Layout" tab you should see a setting titled "View Gridlines". Clicking on "View Gridlines" will make the table gridlines visible on the template document within Microsoft Word.

Since the template opens properly within Microsoft Word on your PC there has to be something specific about the settings within the Mac version of Word that is causing the template to split itself onto two pages. I was looking around Microsoft's support forums to see if I could find anyone that was experiencing a similar issue within Word for Mac.I was able to locate a thread where a user reported a similar issue. They claimed to have resolved the issue by following the steps listed below:

- Click on "File" and then select "Page Setup"
- When the "Page Setup" dialog box appears it should be set to "Page Attributes". If "Page Attributes" is not selected, please choose "Page Attributes" from the drop down menu near the top of the "Page Setup" dialog box.
- Once you've confirmed that "Page Attributes" is selected look for the option titled "Format For" and then select "Any Printer"
- Proceed to print your document

I can't say for certain if this will resolve your problem as I haven't been able to replicate the issue myself, but it seems to have resolved similar issues for other users of Microsoft Word on Mac.

If the steps listed above don't resolve the issue, you may want to consider trying our label design program, Maestro Label Designer. This program is built to work specifically with all of our label configurations and has templates for each of our items included. We provide Maestro Label Designer for free with any order placed at OnlineLabels.com. You can view more information about the program at the link below:

It's important to note that you'll have a much easier time designing round labels using Maestro Label Designer when compared to Microsoft Word. Word is not built to handle or display rounded gridlines, so you would be designing into square gridlines for rounded labels. It works well enough for simple text-based labels, but anything with graphics may prove tricky to align perfectly. Maestro Label Designer will provide a true circular area for you to design into, as well as tools that make working with graphics and images considerably easier when compared to Word.

I hope this helps. If you need any additional information please just let us know.

I'm very happy to hear that Maestro Label Designer is working well for you. We've made a number of additions and improvements to the software over the years in hopes of making it easier for our customers to use.

If you have any questions while using Maestro Label Designer please just let us know. Thank you for your business!
