Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Avery 8167 label printing

I have found that, at least with 8160 labels, LO works whereas AOO does 
not. I realize that's not your issue, but at least *one* of the label 
forms seems to work better than with LO than with AOO giving me the 
impression that the LO developers have been a little more proactive in 
chasing down label issues than the AOO developers.

I've often found that, with labels, I sometimes have to make small 
adjustments. For example, I've sometimes inserted a small 8 point blank 
paragraph at the top of a cell to move the actual address down a 
smidgen. I sometimes do this in the cells themselves or in the "Label 
text" dialog box under <File> <New> <Labels> when I'm doing a merge from 
a database. I've also been known to insert a space or two before each 
line in the address form, just to move it in from the left margin a bit 
as so: (I realize the spaces won't show up in an email so I've typed in 
"<sp>" to represent blank spaces that I insert with the space bar.)

<sp><sp><2014.Sheet1.0.First name> <2014.Sheet1.0.Last name>
<sp><sp><2014.Sheet1.0.Street>
<sp><sp><2014.Sheet1.0.City>, <2014.Sheet1.0.State>  <2014.Sheet1.0.Zip>

I realize these solutions are a bit of a cobble, but when you have to 
get the job done, you just do what you have to do and worry about bug 
reports later. My problem is that I only do this about once a year (for 
Christmas cards) and lose interest in the issues once I'm done.
