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

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.
