I looked at a lot of (blank) labels and also came to the conclusion that the definition of the labels leaves room for interpretation. My calculation is based on the assumption (presumption?) that the page containing the labels is symmetrical, i.e. rotating the page 180 degrees is not a problem, left margine equals right margin and top margin equals bottom margin. It would be much better if the label-definitions contain all dimensions, i.e. should include either right margin and bottom margin or the page size. That was too great a change for me to commit without proper discussion. >Have you tested your code with real label printing? >Is just the visualization wrong in LO? I have not looked at the visualisation/UI, but at the page size as shown in format-page and at the printer behaviour (the printer at our office wants exact A4 definiton, otherwise it asks for custom paper sheets). >PS: Just a nitpicking.

Currently I am wrestling with easyhack 34425, but should I get that right, I can have a go at further improvements of labels. For users, label printing is mostly troublesome, so any extra user-friendliness of the application is a plus.
