I use to make a lot of specialty business cards and odd size labels for people. I found that many of the .doc templates did not work well with LO, or even Word 2003. I had to adjust the margins to fit the printer's needs since some of these templates used smaller top margins than the

I'm confused on what you are describing. How can you do business cards if the content takes up an entire 8 1/2 x 11 page? Or by page do you mean the entire business card? If this is what you mean it is very simple to do. If you use the File New Business Cards commands, it brings up a

Mathew, That blank second page is inserted by LibreWriter for some unknown reason. After you have generated the business card, press Ctrl P to bring up the print menu. Select the LibreOffice Writer tab and unselect Print automatically inserted blank pages. Jerry At 02:17 PM 11/19/2011,

I don't believe that is always the case. I just used the label format to create a set of 422 labels for specimens in a museum using a spreadsheet which contained all of the label data and LibreOffice Base. There were 39 pages of labels and the program inserted a blank page between each page
