Rather than test print on the back of the labels, which could mess up the printer (that's why most printers don't want you to print on partially populated label sheets - the hot fuser could melt the backing coating and gum up the works), I print on a paper page, align it on the back of the label sheet and look at it with the sun (don't look directly at the sun!) or a bright light behind it. I can see if the text is lined up inside the label boundaries by doing that.

Hi :)
Is it easier just to use a table? Each label corresponding to 1 cell. Perhaps rows and columns between printable labels in order to create a margin? The labels editor looks like it has a steep learning curve but might be more effective and elegant in the longer term but you might get quicker results with just a table even if those results are just not so great. Btw i tend to do a test print onto the back of a sheet of labels before daring to print on the front surface. Something always goes a bit wrong and needs tidying. Regards from Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] [4.0.1.2/Win/Writer] Printing labels with odd sheets?

Hello

I bought the following sheets of labels that have some pitches/margins:

I tried Writers' File > New > Labels, and used user-specific settings, but
the preview doesn't look like what I expected:

Before I ditch the pack and find some labels that have no pitch/margins, has
someone successfully printed labels with LO that look like that?

Thank  you.
