I think the configuration in the wizard may be wrong.  The Avery 5160 has 30 labels on a 8.5" x 11" 
sheet each measuring 1" x 2 5/8".  It is probably one of the most common labels used so I am 
surprised the issue hasn't previously been raised.  As I indicated in my email, I didn't have any 
problem when I switched to Word so I am reasonably confident the issue is not related to my printer.

Hi Jeff

Is the issue that you used lable sheets of the type Avery 5160 and that 
the preconfiguration for these lables were wrong?
I think that I remember reading some issues with the label functionality 
(File -> New -> Label) in an earlier version of LibreOffice that might 
or might not be fixed in newer versions. What version of LibreOffice did 
you use?

Do you have any specifications for the measurements of these specific 
labels so I can do a quick review if there seems to be any issues there?

Note also that you can tweak the measurements under the Format tab of 
the Labels-dialog. Not that you should need to if you use labels that 
has a preset configuration.

Kind regards,
Niklas Johansson

I tried to do my labels for Christmas
cards using LO's mail merge.  I was able to create the data base and
print without difficulty.  Unfortunately, the entire third column was not
properly spaced and printed outside of the label, a couple of spaces to the left.  The first 
two columns were they were supposed to be.  I was using standard
configuration for Avery 5160.  I finally gave up created the labels
with Excel and Word.




I am not sure where to send an email to
suggest that the matter be looked into so I am sending this
information to this list with the hope the matter will be picked for
investigation.  Also, although I suspect it has been suggested
before, it would be nice to be able to do a mail merge directly from
the spreadsheet without creating a database file.
