- Click Format=>Page=>Page and set the Left,Right,Top,Bottom margins to match the margins on your label paper. Then click OK.
- NOTE: you need to make the bottom margin and the font at the bottom of the labels smaller to make it fit on one page.
- Click Table=>Insert=>Table and match the number of columns and rows to match your label paper. Then click OK.
- Click under the table and set the font size to 2
- Click Table=>Select=>Column
- Click Table=>Autofit=>Row Height and set the hight to match the height of each label. Uncheck "Fit to size"
- Click File=>Save As and set your "File Type" to "ODF Text Document Template" - then give it a name and save it.
- To centre text in the labels:
- Highlight the entire table.
- Press: "Centre" on the formatting tool-bar.
- Press: "Centre (vertical)" on the table tool-bar.
- To rotate text inside a label:
- Highlight the entire table.
- Click Table=>Table Properties...=>Text Flow=>Text Direction:
Right-to-left (vertical) - To vertically stack text within a label:
- Press "Enter" after each letter
- OR "Shift" + "Enter" after each letter.
- To adjust the spacing to the contents of the label. This is needed if there are gaps between each label:
- Click Table=>Table Properties...=>Boarders=>Spacing to contents:
These let you adjust this spacing. - You may also mail a sample of your label stock to Dean @ SBO he will then email you back the label template.
