One more question: I couldn't find how to tell LO to use a smaller font size than the default 12: http://bagofiles.free.fr/libreoffice.labels/libreoffice.labels.font.size.png There's no option in the Labels dialog, Select All doesn't work, and neither does selecting a column or row. Is there no

I did not catch the original post, but are the labels going to be the same for each? If so there is an Synchronize labels option in the New Label setup. Then you edit the first label and press the Sync. button and they all change to the new look. If each contains different addresses or

Thanks for the tip. Indeed, the Labels dialog has a Synchronize contents option in its Options tab, which displays a Synchonize Labels window after creating the sheet. Selecting the first cell, changing its font size, and hitting the button does apply the change to the rest of the labels. Thank

I do not use mail merge option, so having a sheet of the same labels, business cards, etc., is the only thing I do for these types of things. Yes, it would be nice to be able to do full editing on the dialog box, but I do not remember ever seeing that in any of the systems I used in the

Tom wrote Is it easier just to use a table?  Each label corresponding to 1 cell.  Perhaps rows and columns between printable labels in order to create a margin? Thanks for the idea, but is there a way to tell LO to print a table that will cover the whole page, each cell having a specific width

What I mean, is that LO can't seem to support labels that have no margins between them: http://bagofiles.free.fr/libreoffice.labels/libreoffice.labels.pitches.jpg -- View this message in context:

Yes, you can print on labels with no margins between them. I would suggest you use a PAGE STYLE to set the top, bottom, left and right printable areas. Make them a little larger than the actual margin to give room for error. Then the table will be the same size as the labels. If you add a narrow

When you insert a table you can define the number of rows and columns and the column (label) widths . Then select all the table and adjust the row height to that of the labels. There isn't a table fill command in the table definition that I know about. Good luck... -- View this message in

Thanks all for the input. I'll give it a try, and if it doesn't work, I'll just look for label sheets that have no margins at all. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/4-0-1-2-Win-Writer-Printing-labels-with-odd-sheets-tp4044517p4044613.html Sent from the Users

Hi. I opened a document then went NewLabels. Clicked on format and entered fairly much what you had but assumed that the page was A4 so put in the dimensions 29.7 and 21 down the bottom. Left margin 1.5, top margin 2.6. Saved it as Avery A4/Asia [user1] and away I went. Steve On 2013-03-19
