Printing labels

[Tom Jones <tj...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to print some mailing labels.  I have converted my spreadsheet
containing addresses to an .odb database file.  Then I go to
"File>new>labels to open the labels dialog.  When I try to enter the name
of my database, I find that I cannot delete or add anything to the
incorrect choices listed in the dropdown list.  I have closed and restarted
both the Open Office program and the computer, but I still cannot change
these entries.  Any suggestions?

You probably need to "register" your database - which you could have 
done in its creation. To do it now:
o Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Base | Databases.
o Click New... and browse to your database.
o Give your database a registered name.

Now it should appear under Database in the Labels dialogue.

I trust this helps.
