Thanks for responding. I've been following the various threads dealing with labels but haven't seen anything relevant to my problem. I did discover a workaround that might be useful to others:
1) Save the uneditable .odt as a .doc file (converts fields to text).
2) Save the .doc file back to .odt.

Unfortunately, that cumbersome process is not a big selling point when trying to convince others to switch from WordPerfect to OpenOffice. :-(

Let me look into this later today and get back to you, and to Keith Bates and anyone else who has been having trouble with labels, either creating them or printing them or editing them. I'm working on a revision to the section on printing labels in "Printing with Writer" because it's obvious that more needs to be said, or it needs to be said differently. And I can see the need for a How-to on the subject. This list is great for beta testing the user docs! :-)

Here is the existing "Printing with Writer" chapter:
