I’m trying to create a page of little ‘price’ labels - using Writer.
Doing Fine | New | Labels - and selecting Avery A4 / J8658 Mini Labels.
These are tiny labels 2.54cm x 1cm - 7 across and 27 rows per page
I’d like to have the price (as in €9.50) centered vertically and horizontally on the label.
I can ‘sort of’ get horizontal spacing by padding the text (space, space, space €9.50)
but can’t see a way of getting the text centered vertically on the label.
What’s the trick?
Thanks
Adrian
Hello,
.
Don’t have labels to test but this may be what you need. Can use Align Center (Ctrl-E) for horizontal centering.
.
For vertical you can add space above the line. Right click text and select Paragraph then Style and I set. My test:
.
resulting in:
Ah - thank you!
The paragraph setting does the trick beautifully… excellent!
The horizontal centering I can manage just by padding with spaces - but the vertical alignment was vexing me - but now it’s sorted!
Background to all of this is that I used to print these labels using a rather clunky free program provided by Avery (who make the labels), but they discontinued that and made it all cloud-based…
With your clever ‘paragraph’ tweak, Libreoffice will do the job perfectly.
Thanks!
Adrian
Another attempt:
See attached document made with ApacheOpenOffice (LibreOffice got some unexpected behaviours - too slow - did not synchronize completely…).

Thanks for the answer - sounds like that’s another option…
I guess I was looking for a ‘Labels for Dummies’ button that would center the text on the label - but your plan, and the one suggested by Ratslinger give me two workable options…
Many thanks
Adrian
