...but it's still based, illogically in my view, on dynamically 
generated frames, rather than the more obvious tables. Labels are 
tabular after all and this frame fetish has frustrated me for some years.

For anyone interested, I made a set of tabular templates, both A4 and 
American Letter sizes some years ago and they have served me well. The 
only drawback is in replicating (or alternatively deleting) enough pages 
to meet output requirements. It would be a fairly trivial exercise to 
program this as a replacement for the frame based system.
