I had exactly the same problem last night. I discovered I had to get rid
of the Synchronize button in order to get a page of different labels
from a datasource.

I recently did away with MS and have converted to Linux and OpenOffice. I
am trying to print Avery 8160 labels from the word processor. I have a
template .doc which I called up and tryed mail merge but have not been
able to figure out how to print more than one name per page. The labels
are 3 across and 10 down. I used to use Avery Label pro or Publisher to
do this. Can I do it in OpenOffice or is there another product that I can
use. Scribus does not have the mail/merge option.
Thanks in advance for any help!
When you do File->New->Labels, you get a dialog with three tabs. On the
third tab, you should see a radio box for "Entire Page", and a
checkbox "Synchronize Contents" Both of these should be selected. This
will give you a page of labels, but you can only edit the first one at
the top, left, which is the master label. Whatever you put in it,
including formatting, will be propagated into the rest of the page when
you click the floating "Synchronize Labels" button.
This is useful when you want to print labels from a datasource or when
you want a page full of identical labels.
