However, I think it's an omission - or an oversight - of the developers to not give the opportunity to adjust the dimensions of a once made buseness-card template.

[libreoffice-users] modifying existing labels/cards
I have a simple question: I have a sheet with business cards (made with the correct template, etc.) but as I have a different printer I want to adjust the dimensions as to fit them perfectly. How is that done? I can not find a modify button anywhere and page formatting is not the correct way (it completely changes all dimensions). I'm still working with 3.4 (but will only change to 3.5 when it is reasonably bug-free.

Thanks in advance, Joep AFAIK your business cards form should print correctly on any printer that has a large enough printing area. I have found the typical tweaks I need are to adjust the margins of the text slightly so it does not print on the edge. I would print a set on plain paper and visually inspect to see if the output looks correct. Then I would make any changes and repeat the test page. Finally, when I think I have it correct I would print 1 set out and see if there are any small problems. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

You cannot change the layout, only when you make a new business card sheet. How would you make the changes?
