Re: [libreoffice-users] writer: business cards w/ tables - duplicate cells

Matt

I see that if you do File>New>Business Card you are forced to use 
preformatted cards with layouts and fields already selected.

But if you use File>New> Label, and then select as your label, one of 
the Business Card templates (e.g. Avery Letter Size; Avery 5371) you 
will get a blank template of the proper size with no preselected 
fields or formatting.  You can then design that space any way you 
like. And then generate the sheet of cards with the synchronize button.

Don't you have to conform to the business card templates in terms of 
size and margins in order to get them to print properly? This just 
seems like the easiest way to do it.
