I think this will help: <http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/openoffice-a4.htm> <http://www.worldlabel.com/Templates/a4/WL-SG3899.ott> That will provide a template (table format) for your labels. You might consider ordering from Worldlabel... they are the only vendor that I know of that provide OOo/AOO/LO templates for their products. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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
