Paper Size definitions (widths & heights) in Page Setup

I am creating labels for an application. They are 3 1/2 by 15/16 and have 12 labels to sheet (eg. 12 inches long). I was using the standard LETTER for paper size and putting 12 inches for the column size. This sort of works except the 1st page skips 11 inches and then starts printing my labels. When I looked up all the different paper sizes, I see about 100 choices A0, A1, C4, Super A, etc. However, how do you what these actual sizes are? Is there a list cross reference anywhere or does anyone know which SIZE I should use for my labels? It seems to be a standard label.
thanks,

Remember when... everything worked and there was a reason for it?

If you use the label wizard, then select one of the label makers (Avery for example) can you find a size that fits your purpose?

I just did what you said. It needed a view or table and I have a stored procedure because I print out some totals along the way. I cut and pasted the sp to the view and yes I found an AVERY label with the correct size. However when I went to view the label I saw it was letter size and the columns were set up 3.5 by 1. Basically it didn't help.
It is not worth trying to resolve this for 1 label for each run. Thanks.
