The argument put forward here seems a little silly. The only reason for having this "multiple page" label idea, is so that that you can scan the labels with the completed data. However, this data is already visible to you in the datasource? Why can you not check to see if the name is James James or James Thompson in the datasource before printing?
Depends on the datasource for one thing. This last Christmas I used OOo to hook up to my Mozilla address book to generate mailing labels for Christmas cards. It wasn't until after I had printed the labels that I realized a couple of the addresses weren't complete (no zip code) and a couple of other problems. Not a big deal in this case -- so I had to hand address a couple of cards, so what? -- but a problem nonetheless.
Our eyes and brains are accustomed to seeing addresses laid out in a certain way, so it's easier to spot mistakes when they are in that usual format. Data integrity in even a small database is a non-trivial issue.
