Re: [libreoffice-users] modifying existing labels/cards

Hi Joep,

The standard label formats included with LibreOffice and OpenOffice are 
the same type as Microsoft uses with fixed blocks. These tend to not to 
be accurate if the card/label is relatively full as you get toward the 
bottom of the page, even in Microsoft. There are also table style 
templates available (or at least used to be available) as an extension 
for OpenOffice. I have found them very easy to adjust, and they print 
perfectly for both business cards and labels for me. They are available at:
http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/openoffice-template.htm or probably as 
an extension for OpenOffice.
