Usually the problem is, that people don't understand that *all* labels

are filled with data *after a print command*.
Have you tried that?
So your label-page is OK, and you've opened the datasource window (F4)
Now way A)
- Ctrl-P
- Choose Yes
- in the data-window, select your adresses or choose all
- and print/save as file etc.
Or way B)
- Press icon Mail merge /standard letter (or so - I've the Dutch
version) on the datatablebar (above the table)
- In the Wizard, go direct to step 8
- make one of the choises there.

This is really frustrating. Originally, I was getting one page worth's
of labels (30) when I'd high-lighted all 34 records. Then for whatever
reason I was only getting 15, the "odd" pages (assuming each label is
considered a page).
Now, when I followed "way B" above, after invoking the mail merge
wizard, after creating the label document and selecting step 8
(omitting the others), the little wizard (in a Mail Merge box) indicates
that it is creating documents, with Status: x of 65535. It eats memory,
and everything slows down. I press [cancel] and that process stops. If I
then elect to print pages 1-2, I get all of my 34 records as labels, but
there are many (depending on how far the mail merge goes before I press
[cancel] extra pages with blank labels.
All I want OOo to do is create/print 34 labels.
I can't explain why the Mail Merge (with labels) wants to create 65535
labels!
Any ideas?
