RE: [libreoffice-users] Mail Merge and Labels

I think the configuration in the wizard may be wrong.  The Avery 5160 has 30 labels on a 8.5" x 11" 
sheet each measuring 1" x 2 5/8".  It is probably one of the most common labels used so I am 
surprised the issue hasn't previously been raised.  As I indicated in my email, I didn't have any 
problem when I switched to Word so I am reasonably confident the issue is not related to my printer.
