Adding template to OpenOffice?

[Yvey Collins <yv...@fredas.co.uk>]

Hi there,

Are you able to add a label template to OpenOffice for Avery Zweckform L7780, please? Your templates currently only go up to L7769.

Kind regards,
Yvey.

Am I? No - because I'm a user, just like you. Here are some suggestions:

o If you go to the Avery web site, you can easily find Templates | 
Download Word Templates and download a template in Microsoft Word 
format for your labels. In fact, what is offered is actually a Word 
text *document* in .doc format. You can open this in OpenOffice and 
may be able to use it directly.

o Alternatively, you can start with an existing labels template in 
OpenOffice and select the Format tab. There you will find the 
parameters that define the layout of labels on a sheet, and you can 
modify them to suit your own labels. Once you have done this, you can 
use the Save... button to save your new template under Brand and 
Type, so that it will be available in future in your installation of 
OpenOffice. You can discover the parameter values required either by 
directly measuring them from your actual label stock or else from the 
template described above, where the values for rows and columns 
within the table quickly show, for example, that the labels are 4 cm 
in diameter and that they are spaced 0.6 cm apart both horizontally 
and vertically.

It was sensible for you to write to this Users mailing list in the 
first instance, so as to receive advice. But if you want to suggest 
the addition of a new labels template you need to suggest this as an 
enhancement. And you do that at the web site, in the same place that 
you report bugs. See
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/HowToFileIssue ,
http://www.openoffice.org/qa/issue_handling/basic_rules.html , and
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/ .

But do remember that OpenOffice is a collaborative project, so you 
might be invited to do some of the work yourself.

I trust this helps.
