Are you able to add a label template to OpenOffice for Avery
Zweckform L7780, please? Your templates currently only go up to L7769.
Am I? No - because I'm a user, just like you. Here are some suggestions:
o If you go to the Avery web site, you can easily find Templates |
Download Word Templates and download a template in Microsoft Word
format for your labels. In fact, what is offered is actually a Word
text *document* in .doc format. You can open this in OpenOffice and
may be able to use it directly.
o Alternatively, you can start with an existing labels template in
OpenOffice and select the Format tab. There you will find the
parameters that define the layout of labels on a sheet, and you can
modify them to suit your own labels. Once you have done this, you can
use the Save... button to save your new template under Brand and
Type, so that it will be available in future in your installation of
OpenOffice. You can discover the parameter values required either by
directly measuring them from your actual label stock or else from the
template described above, where the values for rows and columns
within the table quickly show, for example, that the labels are 4 cm
in diameter and that they are spaced 0.6 cm apart both horizontally
and vertically.
It was sensible for you to write to this Users mailing list in the
first instance, so as to receive advice. But if you want to suggest
the addition of a new labels template you need to suggest this as an
enhancement. And you do that at the web site, in the same place that
you report bugs. See
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/HowToFileIssue ,
http://www.openoffice.org/qa/issue_handling/basic_rules.html , and
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/ .
But do remember that OpenOffice is a collaborative project, so you
might be invited to do some of the work yourself.
I trust this helps.
