Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing 18 labels per sheet on Avery A4 sheet L7161
Hi, Not sure if that will work for you, but you can try this: 1) Create your new document2) Select the top-left frame (single click on the border)3) Go Format -> Frame -> properties4) Go to the Borders tab, and then set the internal border to 0,1cm on all sides In my version, this sets the border for all frames on the page and therefore makes the boxes smaller on all sides for text which, as I understand is what you are looking for. I hope this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing 18 labels per sheet on Avery A4 sheet L7161
Hi Alan, No, I was not trying to do that -- Budge [the OP] was -- but I did not know how to answer that part of his post (never did it before). So simple; I'm embarrassed I did not know, but am happy to know it now. Sweet.

What I have seen so far is that the LO label is intended to print from a database (such as a list of addresses, and doesn't allow for what you desire ... and by the way, I desire. Sorry, I am no help there. There is a way to change the top and right margins, but that is the distance from the top and left edges of the sheet to the top and left edges of the top, left label ... not really a good answer, eh? Assuming that one wants all the labels on a sheet to be identical, all I have ever been able to do is (as you say) format one label as desired, select and copy the desired area of that label, and past that into each of the other labels on the sheet ... one at a time. Not much help there, I am sure ... I wish to know this as well, if there is any way to do this. But thank you for asking ... it prompted me to search once again for the answer, although the answers I found (once again) point to stuff that is not in LO, at least not in the version I have. Possibly out of date answers? Possibly the answer would vary a lot between OS's?

[libreoffice-users] Behavior that seems ... inconsistant.
This is being offered as a "data point" to the user interface development. It may very well be "as expected" but it seemed odd so I thought I'd mention it to see what other folks thought. Here's a sequence of operations I'll call "Case 1": I create a spreadsheet. Column A starts at a number (i.e. 100) and the rest of the column is "=A1+1" and is filled down using the "Fill Down" menu option. This gives us 100,101,102, etc. At the bottom of this new column, I select the bottom entry, do a "Copy" to the clipboard then go down one cell and "Paste" from the clipboard and the correct value goes in, formatting and all. So far, nothing unusual. Now, "Case 2": I take a second spreadsheet and put my starting number in A1 like before. BUT, now I go to row 2 and select A2..A4 (three rows) and hit the button to "Merge and Center Cells" and now I have a big cell in the second position. I put the same formula in it "=A1+1" and it correctly becomes 101. I select that cell again and do a "Copy" to the clipboard, go down one cell and am now on A5. Note, it skipped to the /next/ cell after this enlarged cell. I "Paste" and it creates a duplicate large cell and puts the adjusted formula in it. From what I can see, the operations are consistant. But, now select ths enlarged cell at "A5" (which is A5, A6, A7) and pull down to A8 and do a "Fill down" and it goes wonky. The cells A6, and A7 suddenly become filled with individual values and the "Merge" done previously goes away. It /seems/ (but I might be wrong) that the behavior should have been to turn A8 and subsequent two more cells into one large cell via an implied Merge and then copied the contents of the cell above it into it adjusting the formula appropriately. Thanks for everyone's time. I hope this is helpful in some way.
