Change the Body size as much as the difference in position between the first and second rows of labels and all the labels should adjust correctly. When you change the size of the Body part, any change is multiplied over the number of rows of labels you have. If they are creeping down, you need to make the Body part smaller. If they are creeping up, you need to make the Body part bigger. Once you have your first row printing correctly, move on to the rest of the rows. If they are too high, increase the size of the Header part. Does the first row of labels hit exactly where you want it to? If the labels are too low, decrease the size of the Header part.
