Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [4.0.1.2/Win/Writer] Printing labels with odd sheets?
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 past.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [4.0.1.2/Win/Writer] Printing labels with odd sheets?
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 other info, that will not be an option.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [4.0.1.2/Win/Writer] Printing labels with odd sheets?
Hi. I opened a document then went New>Labels. 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.

[libreoffice-users] Re: [4.0.1.2/Win/Writer] Printing labels with odd sheets?
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.

[libreoffice-users] Re: [4.0.1.2/Win/Writer] Printing labels with odd sheets?
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 column over the 'join' between the labels you can use it to place the text in the second and third labels across the page. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/4-0-1-2-Win-Writer-Printing-labels-with-odd-sheets-tp4044517p4044550.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

sophi wrote > May be this FAQ will be helpful Thanks but I did read the FAQ before posting here. The issue is that I don't know how to tell LO that the sheet has outer borders, but no borders between labels themselves (3 columns, 7 rows). I tried setting "Horizontal Pitch" and "Vertical Pitch" to 0 and Width/Height to the label's size, but LO won't let me (sets HZ/VT Pitch to 0,10cm). Before I spend more time on this, does someone know if LO is able to handle sheets that look like the one I bought, namely those that have outer borders but none between the labels proper? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/4-0-1-2-Win-Writer-Printing-labels-with-odd-sheets-tp4044517p4044532.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
