[Solved] Printing Mailing Labels

[dcstocking]

Welcome beginner. Please answer all of the questions below which may provide information necessary to answer your question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which version of OpenOffice.org are you using? 2.4.1
What Operating System (version) are you using? Windows XP
What is your question or comment? When printing mailing labels using Writer and a Base table every other label is skipped. My small test system (for learning purposes) has 8 records in it but prints only 4 labels.

How did you create the label document? Did you use File--->New Labels? It sounds like you've added an extra Next Record field. See this thread for some help http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... cord#p2813.

The instructions in Help entitled Printing Address Labels contain steps that apparently do not apply to the current system. Step 6 says to drag the data fields to the first label. The data fields are already there. Steps 7 thru 9 say to insert a Next Record field following the last data field in the first label. This insertion is what causes the next record to be skipped. I followed the directions except for steps 6 thru 9 and the labels printed correctly.

If you use File--->New labels on the Options tab check the synchronize box. This copies the formatting to all the labels. Then save your labels as a template. File--->Save as ODF Text Document Template(.ott) for future use.
