make several labels (5 or 6)

There is a choice of a single label or of an entire sheet of labels in Libre/labels. How do I designate an in between number of labels such as make 6 or make 11?

When you select the label options, under the Distribute options select Entire page - but do not check the Synchronize contents box. This will allow you to have a full page of labels that you can fill/edit as desired.

There are only two options when setting up a Label - a single Label or a sheet of Labels. If the Label stock you have selected has 8 Labels and you only want 6 then select a page of Labels and leave 2 blank.
