Hi, I'm using LO 5.1.6.2 in UbuntuStudio 16.04.2 LTS
I never used to have a problem setting up labels on a custom brand of A4 sized label sheet. But in the current version I'm using, when I come to setting up a custom label, the standard user sheet size is 10.00 x 10.00 cms. Trying to reset that to A4 size (21.00cm x 29.7 cm) also gets me funny numbers not exactly random but either 10.00 x 10.00 or 56.00 x 56.00. There is no option for A4 or any other standard sheet size. After much fiddling, I got it set up by : 1. setting page dimensions to 21.00 and 29.70 by using the spinners 2. setting the label width to 7.00 by putting the cursor in the horizontal pitch box and spinning the number down from the default of 10.00 to 7.00 - this takes the label width box down in parallel 3. setting the label width to 4.20 by putting the cursor in the vertical pitch box and spinning the number down from the default of 10.00 to 4.20 - this takes the label height box down in parallel 4. setting up 3 columns 5. setting up 7 rows 6. leaving left margin and top margin at the default of 0.00 If I try to set columns before setting up label width, the page size changes to multiples of the column width - bringing the columns back down to 1 doesn't take the paper width back to the carefully set value. In steps 2 and 3, if I put the cursor directly in the width/height boxes, this did not bring down the corresponding pitch boxes but they could be brought down afterwards without difficulty other than the time it takes. Using the spinners is a bit like watching paint dry but once the cursor is in the field, you can use the up / down arrows instead of the mouse. Don't try a short cut of page up/ page down because that just resets the page to 10.00 x 10.00 or 56.00 x 56.00 I was able to set my label user values like this and to save them successfully.
