I am running Libreoffice 3.3.2.2 on a Mac.
I can export data to a Libreoffice spreadsheet and from there to a database
table in Libreoffice.
When i then go to file-new-labels. It will let me put in the database, table
and database fields.
Problem is that the format section will not let me select the right label.
I want to use Avery A5444 labels. I downloaded the template for the labels from
Avery's
web site. My printer is an old NEC SuperScript 870 which runs an emulation of
an HP series
2 laserjet. It always prints to the left edge of the paper tray. The labels
feed in the center. Yep,
problem.
I opened the Avery template and did a save as a Liberoffice document and edited
the paper size
to 8.5 inches wide and set the left margin at 2.25 inches which centers the
label correctly for printing.
I checked by entering some test text in the document and printing.
I then saved the document, after deleting the test text, as a Libreoffice
template.
The template does not show up as a selection in the format section of the
labels dialog.
How do I get my modified template to show up and be usable?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Try opening a new document from a template. I am not sure on a Mac the
path. When open one of my personal templates I have to open a folder
called my templates. I believe you will have something similar.
I use Linux primarily.
Hi.
I just tried the following in writer but not sure if it is what you want.
I went File>New>Labels.
Then I set the parameters of my label and clicked "Save" and saved as
Brand = Steve, Type = Label1
I could then use my own designed label as a New label. May be you will
need to create the label format this way instead of a template from
their site.

I was hoping that I could use the Avery template that I modified. But it looks
like your
suggestion might be easier at this point. It does mean that each time I want to
use a
different label that is not one of the few pre-defined ones in Libreoffice, I
must go through
this each time to "create" the new label.
Thanks for your help.

I couldn't find the Avery A5444 label spec. What size are these, are
they singles or (I assume not) continuous.
