[users] Labels

[Joel and Doris Abramson]

I'm using Avery 8195 (same as Avery 5195) return address labels.  I created a 
label in one cell  (4 columns of 15 each).  It has 2 fields in the label, one 
is a photo the other is the address.  The cell looks good.  Now I don't see how 
to copy that cell into all the others.  Can anyone help me?  I'm new at this.  
I'm working in Open Office for Mac-Writer.  Thanks.
Joel

[Philipp Giddings]

Hello,
Hope someone can help me understand why I only get one page of Avery 
5162 labels for 36 rows of data. When trying to print this there should 
be a minimum of 3 pages at 14 per page.

I selected all 36 rows and used data to fields.
Any help would be appreciated
Philipp

Anyone know what I should be doing.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

In South Africa we have a company called Tower Office.  They produce range 
of adhesive labels that is very popular and reasonably priced, they also 
provide a disk of templates, but unfortunately don't cater for Open 
Office.org .


They do however publish the dimensions of their labels on their website.

I have included the document that contains the published dimensions.

They work very well, I just can't figure how to make the round labels.

Rodney,
Biblio is most likely one of the databases that is registered with the OOo
install. I have it in version 2.3.1 on both Linux and Windows. It should not
be the source of your problem.

I encourage you to refer to the links others have suggested before me.
Chapter 11 of the Writer's guide should help resolve your problems.

Pg 284 and 285 deal with identifying your data source. Pg. 293 - 298
describe printing the labels. Seems like a lot of pages to print labels.
Really it's only about two pages of text, the rest is pictures.

If you refer to the guide to get you started it will offer an advantage
when/if you need to ask more questions. You will be able to describe exactly
which of the steps you've completed successfully and on which step the
process fails.

Good luck.

Re: [users] labels

[rodney morrow]

Before I do this I just want to know if under the labels tab, in the block 
marked Database, if there should be anything listed? For example, the word 
bibliography is listed there and in the block below it, Table, the word biblio 
is listed. I don't know how to delete them but if this has anything to do with 
my problem can you help get them out of there?

Without knowing specifically how you're trying to print labels, it's 
really impossible to say why none of your commands work, but here is a 
suggestion: Read Chapter 11 of the Writer Guide on how to print labels, 
it is very helpful.

There are a few workarounds:

o  Design your spreadsheet with your chart needs 
in mind, so that the relevant columns are in the 
right order when you need them.

o  Copy the relevant columns into another area of 
the sheet - or even, more conveniently, on 
another sheet of the same document - and reorder 
the copied columns to suit the needs of the 
chart.  Define a print range to exclude the copied columns.

o  Insert a new column before column B, so that 
your label values are now in column H and the 
data in C, D, and E.  Copy the new column H into 
the new column B.  Create your chart from columns 
B, C, D, and E, with column B forming the 
labels.  Hide column B.  The new column will now 
neither be displayed nor printed: the appearance 
of both the screen and the printed page will be what you need.

I trust this helps.

I'm not sure that there is an "easy" way (depending on how you define 
easy, of course).


When I've had a situation like that, I've re-arranged the data in the 
spread sheet so that the labels are the left-most column in the block of 
data. Not a real neat solution, but it works. I suspect that you were 
looking for something easier.

Marc, I've looked at you file with OO.o 2.1 under WinXP and there are no 
redundant characters, or artefacts so I think your file is fine. However 
I would suggest that you use a paragraph style with appropriate 
indenting to offset your text, rather than tabs. They can sometimes be 
rendered in such a way as to look like "noise" on the page.


Under Debian Linux (Etch), this time using OO.o 2.0.4 it also looks fine 
and again all is well when printing to an HP DeskJet 970Cxi and a Canon 
PIXMA MP780.


I also exported your document as PDF and the output rendered correctly, 
so it looks like a localised rendering problem on your system. If it 
looks alright on screen I would attempt to isolate your printer, if 
possible.


Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps.

Happy Christmas.

No it hasn't! You just can't set a 'Templates' path directly, hence my

Sorry, I don't understand. If you can't set a "Templates" path, how do 
you tell OO where the templates are?


In the File/New/Templates and Documents dialogue 'My Documents' is 
offered as a template source. As long as you place your template 
directory (or directory tree) below 'My Documents' you will have access 
to your templates. You will have previously set the 'My Documents' path 
in Open Office to point to your Open Office data path, e.g.


d:\data\openoffice.org\.

with appropriate sub-directories for letters, documents, envelopes etc. 
Just add your template directories and you will be up and running.

 The procedures are the same for both 2.0.2 and 2.0.3. The 
difference between these two versions is that you can change where 
your templates are saved in 2.0.2 but in 2.0.3 you can only use OOo's 
default path.
 If your are saving them for yourself only, File > Template > Save 
will save them in the Template folder in your personal OOo folder. If 
you want to save them for a network, you need to have Administrative 
privileges and save them in the Template folder in the main OOo 
folder that he mentioned.
 If the main folder for OOo is on the network server, then 
everyone using OOo from that server will have access to the templates 
from File > New > Templates and Documents.

Harold,

If you're NOT using version 2.0.3 then you can set the directory in which 
OO.o finds the templates by clicking your way throug Tools/Options/Paths 
and then add the directory where you have your templates under templates.


If you are using version 2.0.3 then you need to decide whether you want to 
use this template only for yourself or for all users. If it's just for you 
then copy the template to the this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application 
Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\template\
If you want all users to benefit from this template then you should copy 
it to :

/share/template

Re: [users] Labels in 2.x not working

[TAC Forums]

> Labels are fine in 2.0.2. Would you like to elaborate?



Hi

I am trying to make labels using openoffice 2.0.2 ,the database which in my
case is a .ods file.

While I take the help from the openoffice handbook to do it, I get stuck
after step no.11

The following is the content from the openoofice help for creating labels
from databases.

Printing Address Labels

   1.

   Choose *File - New - Labels* to open the *Labels* dialog.
   2.

   Select the format of the label sheets you want to print on. Remember
   to mark *Synchronize contents* on the *Options* tab.
   3.

   Click *New Document*.
   4.

   When you see the label document, open the data source view by choosing
   *View - Data Sources*.
   5.

   In the data source view, select your address data source table.
   6.

   Drag the data fields needed for the Address individually into the top
   left label. For example, click on the column header NAME and, keeping the
   mouse button depressed, drag it into the label. This inserts a field. Put
   the fields in order to complete the address in the first label at top left.
   7.

   Place the cursor at the last text position (after the last field) in
   the first label.
   8.

   Choose *Insert - Fields - Other*, and go to the *Database* tab.
   9.

   Select the type *Next record*, click on *Insert* and then on *Close*.
   10.

   You can now synchronize the labels. Click on the *Synchronize* *Labels
   * button in the small window.
   11.

   In the data source view, select the records for which you would like
   address stickers, by clicking on the row headers to the left. Use the
   *Shift* or *Ctrl* key in the usual way to select several records at
   the same time.
   12.

   On the Table Data bar, click the *Data to Fields* icon.
   13.

   You can then save and/or print the label document.



However after completion of step no.11 , I am lost in search of the Table
Data bar.

I guess it is only after this last and the most important step the data will
be read to the particular fields.

It was easily been done using openoffice 1.x .

Any explaination on  what the step no.12 suggests?

When I go to print the labels, I use Ctrl P, answer yes and select

The result: All Address2 are hidden, regardless of whether there's

remaining addresses are printed with a empty line (not a hidden line)
where Address2 is, even if there is no data in Address2.

Your condition is logical, but...
Try using the following instead:

![Address2]

If you want an alternative to Hidden Sections you could use Hidden 
Paragraphs (in OOo 2.0.2, or later). See the tutorial at :

Looks as if something on your computer or installation is completely

that, I'm afraid.

[cut]
The only immediate thing that comes to mind is that your data source is 
not linked to the label fields in the template. This would be the case 
if you used my example templates, rather than creating your own as 
described in the tutorial, and then named your data source something 
other than "AddressBook". i.e. My examples use "AddressBook" 
consistently and if that is not the name you gave to your data source, 
or if you didn't modify the fields in the template(s) to match your data 
source, that's where your problem lies.


As for 'F4' producing a bullet and a tab, presumably in front of the 
first character in the first label, I have no idea. Do you want to ship 
me any relevant documents off-list so that I can analyse them for 
possible cause?

I can open the data source

Richard,

I'm going to make some assumptions about your attempted use of my 
tutorial. Please correct me if any are wrong and I'll try to solve your 
problem.


1) You have created a folder, or folders in which you store your own 
personal templates.

2) You have made this available in: Tools > Options > Paths > Templates.
3) You have stored the extracted example templates from my zip file (or 
your own created ones) in your personal template path.
4) You then opened a new Writer document based on the example template. 
Either via the Quickstarter: From Template, or via: File > New > 
Templates and Documents.


At this point pressing F4 should open up the Data Sources view. If it 
doesn't, as you imply, I suspect that your installation of OOo is 
defective and this would suggest re-installation as the next step.


Until you get to the point of successfully opening the Data Sources view 
there is no point in proceeding, so I will await your reply.

This makes the third try at following the exact steps in your tutorial but
no fields are populated in the label template when I press the
Data-to-Fields button.  Also, the F4 key does not bring up the data source
view; rather, it places a bullet in the label at the cursor.  So I'm not
sure what that means.

Re: [users] Labels

[Richard Robbins]

I have downloaded your tutorial and used your label template and spreadsheet
and nothing happens when I press the Data-to-Fields button.  I do select the
records in the database prior to that with the cursor in the first label of
the template.  Any other suggestions?

Peter,

You are showing your own kind of arrogance. Me, I in Canada and am have
to wend my way though some pretty broken copyright law et cetera. ( See
http://www.linux.ca/csia to get an idea of what I mean) In any case, the
servers are in California and I have nothing to do with the rules save
to ask to get changes made. If you can do better ...

Dear Mr Hennessy

Thank you so much for sending me details of how to prepare mailing labels in
Open Office.  I followed the instructions and everything seemed to work.  I
did have some difficulty exactly matching the label template that I was
using but that was my problem.  Sorry this has taken so long; the fact is
that both my wife and I have been down with a very bad flu. 

I really appreciate you taking time to help a complete stranger and I just
wish I had the knowledge that you obviously have.  Thank you again.

Yours sincerely

Alan Armstrong

Following problems that I and others had in printing Christmas labels,
I posted the following "definitive guide" on this list. Note especiall
point 2.

You might also like to peruse the "Getting Started Guides" at

http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/published/copy_of_index_html


Here is how to do it, combining wisdom from Jean Hollis-Webber and
others.

1. The first step is to create your address data base. 

If starting from scratch go to File- New- Database and use the wizard
to create a database and new table.

If using a pre-existing table, then in Writer, go to File > Wizards >
Address Data Source. On the first page of the wizard, choose "Other
external data source" and click Next. Then follow the prompts.

2. Next create your labels. You must note that if your labels will
cover more than one page there is a bug which requires a work around.
The following assumes that you are printing more than one page.

3. Go to File- New- Labels. Set up the labels the way you want them to
be, following the help file if necessary. On the Database" section on
the main "Labels" tab (that's the part you see when the dialog opens)
choose the relevant database and table, then the fields that you want
to see on your labels. When you are happy with the layout, click on the
Options tab and make sure "Synchronize contents" is selected.

4. Click "New Document"

5. At this stage it gets tricky, because there is conflicting advice.
Some people say you have to add an additional field to tell OO that you
don't want all the labels the same. I found that if you do this it
actually skips every second record. So, if after the next few steps you
find all the labels are the same you must go Insert- Field- Other then
click on the Database tab then "Next Record"- Insert- Close. After that
click on the Synchronize Labels button.

6. Press F4 to get the data source. Select your table.

7. Select the records you want to print in the table view. You can use
Shift  and Control to select multiple records. 

8. Click on the "Data to Fields" button- it is a small green square
with two horizontal lines above and below. It will take a while to
populate your labels with your data. Are the labels the ones you
actually want? If not go back to 5.

9. Now it is time to print your labels. Go File- Print. It will ask you
if you want to print a form letter. Select "Yes". Then in the
subsequent dialog select the records you want printed. Select single
print job, then OK and it should print.

Hope this helps others at this busy time of year.

 Peter,

 Thanks for your response! No, I'm not trying to create a table. I'm 
trying to print onto individual lables that will be used on manilla 
folders. You can customize the size that you print onto and I can 
adjust everything except the height and width. For some reason when I 
override those measurements, it defaults back to what was originally 
set up. I've used this feature alot with Word and it was very easy to 
adapt to changes.


Your input is appreciated!

Anne,

I must be in one of my "senior moment" days as it is still not clear to 
me what you are trying to achieve.


If you trust me with a copy of your document (sent off list, as 
attachments are stripped on the list) I would be very happy to analyse 
the problem and provide a solution.

[Gregory L. Forster]

I actually have two label questions.

1. When creating labels, after you created labels, pressing New 
Document, once the labels are made, and you do a good job, how do you 
check your label specifications once the labels are made?


2 I created name tags (ID badges) using the Avery 74549 format.  
Everything went well.  I created really nice name tags.  In fact, others 
were interested.  The name tag file I created with the .odt format works 
great, but saving and reopening as a .doc MS Word file does not work 
good at all.  So I was going to try to recreate using MS Word as 
default, however the Avery 74549 disappeared!  74520, 74540, 74541, 
74550, 74552, 74558, 74650 and 74651 are there, but 74549 has 
disappeared!  What happened to it?!?!?!?

Re: [users] Labels, merge, headaches.

[Nat Gross]

With this approach I had (and still have) a problem with Mail Merge (Your
number 7). I am assuming that you meant the mail merge wizard, which is
unstable, and freezes my 1.6ghz (768meg ram) for at least a minute when
merging only 78 labels! And.. sometimes it recovers afterwards (correctly
filled in fields), most of the times not.

If the author of this module would care about my input I would advise to
display the merged data instantly, wysiwyg, and not just merge the data at
print time. (The wizard does do this, but has other problems.)
This is extremely important for frustration-free design of a sheet of labels
(which should take 2 seconds to begin with.)
Also, the 'synchronize' button is confusing (albeit very nice concept) in
that the user usually thinks that it means to synch data from the database,
when in fact it synchs all labels to the layout design of the first one.

Thanks again.

Re: [users] Labels, merge, headaches.

[rlshadow]

I can't tell you how to get back the dialogue that asks if you want to 
print a form letter (which I agree is confusing terminology), but I 
have a process that seems to work for me, even if it may not be the 
easiest. This process does not involve the step where your "missing" 
dialogue box is needed.


1.  File, New, Labels
2.  Choose label fomat. Then under Options tab, make sure Synchronize 
Contents box is checked. Click New Document.

3.  Press F4 to show databases. Select database you want to use.
4.  Drag name and address fields to upper left cell as needed.
5.  Insert, Fields, Other. Select Database tab. Click Next Record, click 
Insert (note that nothing will show up in your document that the Next 
Record field has been inserted, you just need to have faith that it has 
been), click Close.

6.  Click Synchronize Labels.
7.  Tools, Mail Merge.
8.  Select records that you want printed, or click "All records".
9.  Click OK. Click OK again to print.

[users] Labels (again) not in U.M.

[Gregory Forster]

Hello again.

 Now that from a lot of help from many, I learned
how to create great labels and business cards.  The
business cards have two graphics, side by side, with
text on the top and on the bottom of the graphics. I
pressed synchronize and everything fell into place
beautifully. Then I saved the business cards. However,
when I went to open what I saved, the graphics moved
both to the right, one on top of each other and the
bottom text disappeared on all the labels.  I
discovered the anchors had changed and redid the first
label. Resaved it and reopened it.  The first label
changed again.

 Why did all that change?

Re: [users] Labels

[Gregory Forster]

I could "anchor" one graphic to one label. I tried all
the anchors: page, paragraph, to character, as
character.  As soon as I attempted to insert a graphic
in the sceond label, the first label's graphic moves
to another location, the anchor for the first label
has changed by itself and the layout for the labels
have changed, creating a huge mess.  One label is O.K.
Two labels are a near impossibility, 30 labels I would
classify as an impossibility. 

Then my business cards, I have two graphics per
business card.  Then I have ten on a sheet. 

One thing though.  In this operation I have not been
requested, however would not having the java runtime
environment installed make a difference?  Would that
be my problem? I also have the Write, Calc and Impress
defaulted to save and load as Microsoft Office
97/2000/XP.  I was going to try it back as the
OpenOffice format, the way it originally was, but I
forgot what it was, thinking that may make a
difference.

I'm trying to accomplish the same in OpenOffice as
what I have in Word Perfect 8. Primarily because OO is
a lot more compatible with a lot more versions of
Microsoft Office than Word Perfect 8 is.

To what did you anchor your image? I always anchor the image as a 
character. Now if only they would allow me to set the default anchor on 
insert.

"Anchoring" is a joke.  The graphics never stay put where you put them 
when you add another graphic.  Even in doing a newsletter, when adding 
a graphic and stetting the anchor, I add another graphic and set that 
anchor, the first graphic's anchor changes by itself.  It gets really 
interesting putting a graphic, or two in a frame.


First do one label, then two, now all 30 labels that also have text.  
For example, my Sons of the Revolution return address labels have the 
SAR logo, then my name and address on each label.


Oh by the way, I chose the Avery A4/ J8160 label, assuming that was 
what I wanted for the Avery Jet Ink 8160 label. The formating was no 
where near the true Avery 8160 Ink Jet labels.  I had to resize the 
vertical and horizontal settings and saved it as an Avery 8160 Jet Ink 
Address label.  I suppose I'll probably have to do that with the other 
labels I use also.

Yes, same.

In OOo you should blank the used labels.

 

I used Avery 8160 Ink Jet Address just as an example. There are 
dozens of labels to choose, i.e. “Avery 5371

Business Card – white” (Business cards), “Avery 5997
video cassette spine”, “Avery 5998 audio cassette”
just to mention a few I use myself.

  



I think these and more are there. (I do not have OOo up to check)

 


If OpenOffice Writer could do all that, I'd be super
happy, and I'm sure others would be. And I'm sure that
OpenOffice would even be more popular.

Oh, by the way, it was all learned without a manual –
very, very user friendly.
  



Try it I think you will find you can do everything you want and probably
ore because OOo has a Synchronize feature that will let you print whole
sheets with the same info by designing only one label. The rest are
synchronized the the button is clicked. Mind you have to enable the
function during the select and design bit.

Well, I tried it.  Changing font, attributes, etc. within each label is 
easy ( a pain, but easy.)  Putting a graphics in one label is 
challenging (but doable).  Putting graphics in more than one label is 
near impossible. Try it.  If you can do it, let me know how.

Re: [users] Labels

[Gregory L. Forster]

mmm... I use user_guide2_draft.pdf.  I was looking to be able to:  
insert graphics; change fonts, sizes, attributes; insert water marks 
while in the label dialog box, not after I press the "new document" and 
the label/page is displayed.  I guess that makes sense.  I haven't tried 
it yet, but is that where I do my modifications - once in the document?


I guess I am so tuned to Word Perfect 8, it's hard for me to adjust to 
other suites, primarily doing the same thing, but differently.

I hate to compare products because there is always an
