Why Labels Can Look OK on Layout Screen, But Print Shifted

From Nathanael Lloyd of Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management: 

The text made with the text and label tools in the View will change relative size because they are not scaleable. This means that when you print your map the labels will appear to have moved. It's better to make text with Autolabel or with the Text tool in a layout. These labels are scaleable and will appear on your printout in the spot where you expected them to be.
