There must be a simple way to print mailing labels from LO Writer, but I can’t find it?
To clarify:
In MSWord, for example, the various sizes of Avery labels are preloaded. I was wondering if this is true in LO, or whether I must manually set up each different label size.
Perhaps these articles Printing Address Labels or Creating and Printing Labels and Business Cards may be of some help.
