Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Labels for Avery Size 5267 are not properly formatted in LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3

Hi :)
Trivial but time consuming?  Is anyone able to do a load of these and then upload them as templates 
to the official templates site?  
Regards from
Tom :)

...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.
