I have the Avery DesignPro 5.4 Limited Edition on a WinXP drive. Haven't
used it in years, but just fired it up and the default template for
these are 'Name Tag Kit [5383], so 5383 should work. You may have to
modify the centering somewhat as when I created a test in OOo (3.2 and
3.2.2dev) I found that all of the labels are to the far right side of
the page.
@Dick: the box with the labels should have an info sheet for adjusting
the settings, so you may try that to adjust.
Template in Avery DesignPro shows:
Panel Shape: Rectangle
Horizontal Vertical
Number of panels: 2 4
Page Size: 8.500" 11.000"
Page Margin: 0.750" 1.063"
Panel Size: 3.500" 2.219"
Panel Spacing: 0.000" 0.000"
Recommend that you turn on the frame boarders, print to a blank sheet of
paper & then put that up against a label sheet to see what needs to be
adjusted first. That way you don't waste a label sheet. Once you get
that right, save as a "user" label
