[libreoffice-users] Re: Creating a custom label problem

Hi, Remy,

Or, you could just create a table of 15 rows, and do the height 
adjustment for all rows at once.  <G>

Then, there's the option of using the Avery template that's available, 
but I think it requires the Avery software.  I did not investigate that 
option.

Or, you can do what I did.  I used a different program that had one of 
the Avery labels in the list, and got it done.  <G>
