[Solved] Avery Template 5160

Post by Cookie21 »

I can't figure out how to put a blank Avery Template 5160 as a document into my Open Office account. (I am not very computer literate.)

File → New → Labels → Labels → Format=Sheet → Brand=Avery Letter Size → Type=5160 Address → New Document. Then use File → Save, giving it a name and specifying the location where you want it, say the Desktop. As you wanted, this will be completely blank and will not have any fields to hold data for printing. When you save, you can use File → Save → FileType → ODF Text Document Template. Opening the template will create a copy of the empty document, leaving the original template unchanged.

To print labels, you will use Mail Merge. Read about this feature in Help → Index or in User Guides (PDF) or searching for topics about it in the Writer Forum. If you add mail merge fields, you can save the document before you perform the merge from your data source.

If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the title. You can select the green checkmark icon at the same time.
