Use View → Field Names, then remove the Next Record fields for Bibliography and insert one for your data source in the upper left table cell (Insert → Fields → Other → Database → Type → Next Record → Database selection → Select your table or query → Insert → Close). Copy the upper left fields to the other table cells with Tools → Update → Update All. To use your data source you'll need to remove my database fields in the upper left cell of the table, then use View → Data Sources and pull those fields into that cell. I didn't have your Base data source for my test so I used the Bibliography:biblio table that's distributed with OpenOffice (Writer → Tools → Bibliography Database). The same problem which causes your lines to print in the wrong location on the page might affect my attachment too. I just did this to see if the concept would work in this situation. My table template layout is what I get with selecting Avery 5162 in that dialog except the page is Letter size. This worked for me, but unless you're fairly familiar with Base and database fields it will be easier for you to use File → New → Labels with an updated top margin, Bill's suggestion. When I use File → Print for the attachment, the data is positioned correctly for Avery 5162 labels. I built and attached an Avery 5162 template using a table with linked, protected sections. But when the paper in the printer is a sheet of labels, anything other than 100% will cause the lines not to match the label placement on the sheet. So if set to 75%, the printing will be smaller than the actual document. For example, some printer dialogs allow one to scale the document when it is printed. If the measurements differ, I'd be looking at my printer settings dialog for the cause. Then I'd print the PDF on my printer and measure where it printed. If this were happening to my printer, I would make a PDF of the document and use tools I have on MacOS to measure the placement of the text on the PDF page. I can't help with that, of course, since I don't have your printer and don't run Windows. Same printer or a new one? If old documents which used to print correctly no longer do so, that suggests a printer problem of some kind, perhaps a change to printer settings. To avoid wasting labels I print on plain paper until the result matches the labels that I have.Ĭhecking existing files of previously working labels with print preview more carefully and they appear to be "broken" also … If your printer doesn't like the size mismatch you could make a PDF of the document (before changing the page size) and try printing that. I don't know how your printer will react. My printer is going to use whatever paper is in it, so the 8.55 page width from the label wizard isn't really a problem. The left one would be from (left margin) 0.16 to 4.16 and the right one from (left margin + horizontal pitch once) 4.34 to 8.34, measured from the left edge of the page. I don't understand why Writer thinks two labels will be larger than 8.5 inches across. But with page width 8.5, Writer believes only one label across fits and puts them in a single column. The label wizard seems to think the page should be 8.55 inches wide to accomodate two labels across the page, even though the brand I selected is Avery Letter Size, which would be 8.5 x 11 inches. That happens for me if I set the page width (Format → Page) to 8.5 inches. Note: If the outline of the template does not appear, under Layout make sure that View Gridlines is selected.When I tried changing that the page went to single column (for this 2 column label).
