How I'd do it (it's from memory, so bear with me for little glitches): 1. Set up a Calc spreadsheet and enter a header (e.g."number") and the desired numbers (1 to 150 or even 001 to 150 by chosing a custom number format with two preceeding zeroes) into a column 2. design a nice text page with all 4 tickets in it (you could also try going with labels but for just 4 tickts per page I'd rather go with copy&paste instead of fumbling with labels) 3. assign the spreadsheet from #1 as data source (for later use as mailmerge, from memory: File > New > Database > connect to existing > spreadsheet) 4. on your above designed ticket page, press F4 to open the spreadsheet from above as data source 5. enter (simply drag&drop) column header field into the appropriate place in stub and repeat this for the ticket 6. after every SECOND field enter "next record" switch (Insert > field > others > database > next record) but NOT after the fourth ticket (as a page break always triggers a next record switch) 7. Print as mailmerge (or form letter or whatever it's called) into 1 document 8. review the document and if necessary correct&repeat some of the above steps 9. print the merged documents, 10. enter perforation (I use a sewing machine, works perfectly if you use a thin needle and adjust the step width appropriately) 11. cut tickets apart :-) Enjoy learning ;-) Nino -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
