Can you not change the "User" by selecting 5162? To see if your settings are OK under Writer, select File|New|Labels and set: Brand: Avery Letter Size Type: 5162 Address That should properly modify to 5162 Address: 4.00" x 1.33" (2 x 7) If you click on the 'Format' tab, you'll see Horizontal pitch, etc infomation that you can use to manually modify a page if necessary. Now click on the button to create a new page. On mine Format|Page does show: Format: User Width: 8.55" Height: 10.18" And prints to my Printer (Canon MP750) just fine. However, you can change to 8.50" via Format|Page by selecting: Format: Letter if necessary. But that will then change the template to two pages (not helpful). Alternately, you can use Worldlabels & their template: http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/wl-ol100.htm http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/wl-ol100.htm#templates Worldlabel are the only label maker that I know of that include OOo templates via their website for their labels. The WorldLabel wl-ol100 properly uses 8.50 "x 11.00" Letter as default in their template. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
