Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Labels for Avery Size 5267 are not properly formatted in LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3
There is a link to the .oxt template that the WorldLabel listed. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/add-ons-templates/OOoBlankLabels.oxt Then there is a zipped file with these labels listed as individual files, in A4 and A5 [US letter] sizes. I have download that one, but I do not know if people would rather use the template .oxt file or the individual files. That web site sells the blank label sheets in more colors than I have seen in most places. Actually take a look at the CD/DVD labels. There are many different label diameters and center hole sizes.
