File created with Writer labels with pitch>width, but after saving pitch=width
This is related to the label pitch problem on file (58925), but is different.
When one creates a label with a pitch that is greater than the label width
(e.g. for an Avery 5160 label that has a 1/8" horizontal gap between label
columns) the label is accurately copied to all the labels and laid out to fit
on the labels. But when that label sheet is saved and later reloaded, it comes
back WITHOUT the gap between columns of labels, and the extra space transferred
to the right border. That is, the pitch has been reduced to the width
dimension. The only work-around is to copy the label text and re-create a new
label document on the label template using the text copied from the saved label
sheet. This works, but is tedious and the labels cannot be emailed to another
user and print correctly.
The label feature is very useful, but I think it could be improved if editing
tools were added so that you could change alignment, font size, bold, italic
etc BEFORE creating the document with the text duplicated 30 times, so that
each one has to be edited.
