To get a template for a single rectangle to cover the entire insert you'd set up a page with one 'label' 183x273mm with the appropriate x and y position. I wouldn't recommend this approach as it makes position things to go on the spine a pain. A better approach would be to set up a template for the two big areas (the front and back). This would have a 'label' size of 183x129.5mm (129.5 = (273-14)/2), with the appropriate horizontal and vertical offsets for the top left corner and a y pitch of 143.5mm (129.5 + 14). Then make another template for the spine, with a 'label' size of 183x14mm and position dimensions to line it up with the 14mm high rectangle. With this approach you would then make 3 label designs, one for the front using the first template and printing on label 1 of the template, one for the back printing on label 2 of the first template and one for the spine using the second template. Each would have to be printed separately, so making an insert with something on each face would mean putting the insert through the printer 3 times. I actually don't think glabels is terribly well suited to this layout, I'd use oodraw with the margins set for the outline of the whole insert and a couple of guide lines (click in one of the rulers and drag into the document, releasing where you want the line - you can fine tune the position by right clicking the line and selecting 'Edit Snap Line') to mark the spine. ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ormiret.com The opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of my employer, not necessarily mine, and probably not necessary. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
