Carl,
my last response may have seemed a little brusque - that was not my
intent - so could we try again? My remarks suggesting impatience were
with the program, not your question.
I didn't notice, but thanks.
When you use the File > New > Labels menu you are offered the choice -
via the Options tab - of producing a single label, or an entire page.
The 'Entire page' option results in a page of identical labels, all in
frames and this document can obviously be saved and/or edited as you see
fit.
It's the editing of this that I can't seem to make work right.
The 'Single label' option results in a single frame, positioned in the
page appropriately for the row and column choice you make: there is no
automated method of moving that frame to another label position post the
creation event.
Yes, and that's where I'd love the ability to choose where to print that
one cell on a specific label style (e.g. column 2, row 7). Maybe I'll
post an enhancement request...
As I said in my original post, under OOo 1.0.4 (I think that was it)
I could go back and tell OOo whether or not to print one label or a
sheet of labels, and there was a way to apply paragraph styles to a
sheet of labels without creating a table layout approach for each
type of label you have, applying the address to the layout, then
modifying the table cells with styles.
See above: you could specify a single label, or a sheet full, but you
can only ever print in units of a page, so there is no going back except
by deleting the contents of all the unwanted label frames from a
'page-full' selection! I hope that makes sense.
Here's the thing. I could at one time create an entire sheet (page) of
labels, but then decide to change the font, for example, and then just
change the address in the uppper left frame (though I don't think it was
a frame in this case) and then apply that change to the entire sheet. I
have trouble doing this now. So if anyone has suggestions, I'd be
grateful. Maybe I'll go back and look at how v.1 worked to see if it's
different.
Carl
