Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing 18 labels per sheet on Avery A4 sheet L7161

Hello John,

re: [2] same label for all labels on page with other than the default
formatting applied to all labels

#1 File > New > Labels
#2 Labels dialog, Labels tab --
  -- Label text field : enter desired label text
  -- Brand: Avery A4, Type: L7161 Address
#3 Click "New Document" button, label text field is repeated for all labels
on page
#4 Right-click in text of first label, select Styles > Edit Style...
#5 modify style as desired and click "Apply" button

All labels now have the same style applied to the text.

Is that what you are trying to do?
