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

Hi Alan,

No, I was not trying to do that -- Budge [the OP] was -- but I did not know how to answer that part 
of his post (never did it before). So simple; I'm embarrassed I did not know, but am happy to know 
it now. Sweet.

Thanks,
John
