Hi.
I just tried the following in writer but not sure if it is what you want.
I went File>New>Labels.
Then I set the parameters of my label and clicked "Save" and saved as
Brand = Steve, Type = Label1
I could then use my own designed label as a New label. May be you will
need to create the label format this way instead of a template from
their site.
