[libreoffice-users] Re: Label creation Q

Good morning:

(Nice Farm Site Don)  I do not know what ya'all mean by 'table' unless 
you are saying that I might get the "name address" data from a 
database.  I am not.  I am creating a shipping label to put on large (9 
x 12) envelopes for my security system proposals.  I am using equivalent 
to Avery 5164 labels (6 on a page).  I fill them out manually on a 
typewriter.

My question related to the concept of "obvious" and "efficiency", 
meaning most label creation would be:
1. Design label (lines, test colors, etc.)
2. Copy to other label locations on the sheet
3. Print Labels

So having a command that would take the label that you just created and 
populate the other label locations on the sheet seemed to be the next 
step, and I could not find the option.

Problem: In label design, the text and the drawing are separate objects, 
so selecting the top left label buy highlighting the upper left to lower 
right the, rt cl copy, put cursor in upper right  box, upper right 
corner, put the lower half of my original label (drawing only, no text) 
below the original and nothing in the upper right box.

It just seems that a "populate other empty labels on this sheet with 
original" would make sense.
