I have done everything you asked down to where I press F4 but still get a bullet and tab placed in the label document. I can open the data source through the View options but it still fails to populate any labels when I press the Data-to-Field icon. I then did another install from the Oo2.0 download but I am getting the same thing this time. One question I have is when I begin the label document with File-New-Templates and Documents what do I select after that? If I click Templates, I see your Avery label samples and double click one of those. Should I do something else at that point?
