The Avery 5444 labels are 2 inches high by 4 inches wide, 2 to a sheet with a 5/8 inch space at 
top, a 3/4 inch 
separation between labels and a 5/8 inch space at the bottom of the sheet. The Avery template 5444 
is set up to 
use a tab to move to the next label. Lots of fun!

I suspect that I will do my own template in the labels dialog as the 'easier' way. It is just an 
annoyance on all
fronts that things that computers were supposed to make easier are instead much harder than the 
need to be
if they can be done with the computer at all. 

The product lifecycle management database will let me export the data I need and into a format that 
Libreoffice 
can use with a bunch of steps of dialogs, not hard, just tedious. Libreoffice cannot see the label 
template that Avery 
says to use from within the labels dialog. The printer refuses to recognize that the labels need to 
be fed from the center
even though their paper tray centers any paper you feed it. The printer prints from the left edge 
of a standard page size not the narrower labels.

Thanks,

Ross
