That is why I mentioned "That said, the shipping + label sheets might end up costing more than buying local Avery." > > What I need is a way of getting LO and/or OO to print the labels correctly > on the page.

Reset your virtual PDF printer(s) for proper A4 settings. If on Windows I use PDFCreator: http://www.pdfforge.org/ I just tested PDFCreator, CutePDF, Acrobat Professional, LO (3.6.4.3) export to PDF, AOO (3.4.1) export to PDF (Windows & linux for both). The A4/L7163 PDF's are identical. I even created a PDF from MS Word 2003 to Acrobat Professional - same results. However I did notice that printing from the PDF resulted in all labels shifted to the left by ~1/8inch/0.125in (0.31750cm). The issue had nothing to do with LO, AOO, Word, PDFCreator, CutePDF etc., the issue was that in Acrobat and Adobe Reader, I needed to: 1. Set Page Scaling to 'None' 2. Turn off (untick) 'Auto Rotate and Center 2. Turn on (tick) the 'Choose paper source by PDF size Once I did that, the printed PDF's exactly matched the print directly to printer copies. So my initial problem was PEBCK. As for LO: "With LO I get the same from both printers: a correctly sized document. But the pitch is wrong: 9.2 by 3.6 cm instead of 9.9 by 3.8." You can adjust the pitch easily in the Label|Format setup tab. The defaults for L7163 are: Horizontal pitch: 10.16cm Veritical pitch: 3.81cm I think you are referring to Width & Height: Width: 9.91cm Height: 3.81cm Left margin: 0.47cm Top margin: 1.52cm Columns: 2 Rows: 7 Page Width: 21.00cm Page Height: 29.70cm From Help: ==== Horizontal pitch Displays the distance between the left edges of adjacent labels or business cards. Vertical pitch Displays the distance between the upper edge of a label or a business card and the upper edge of the label or the business card directly below. ==== ... -- 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
