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.

Label Tab enter text for label content select sheet select label brand select label type Format Tab probably just leave that stuff alonw Options Tab select entire page check Synchronize Content (the printer and setup can also be done here) Select New document Along with the "new document" you will get a little dialog box for "Synchronize Labels" Now ... edit the top left label to achieve your desired formating, edge spacing, etc. Click on the Synchronize Labels button.

Once I have typed one label and edited it to suit, is there a quick way to copy the one label to all the labels on the the whole sheet? Grateful for your help please. 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 Possibly out of date answers?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?
