Labels in OpenOffice.org / Linux

Here is the best way to do Avery labels in OpenOffice.org (much better than the built-in method.)  Note the instructions on how to copy from one cell to every cell.  Even easier?  Put your cursor in the cell you want, press Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, then, above each column where you want the labels inserted, click the mouse when the down arrow shows, and hit Ctrl-V.  Don’t do this in the spaces between the labels.

Here is where to get the best templates for Avery-compatible labels for OpenOffice.org.

To find which template to use, look at the top of the labels sheet (that one was hard for me).

Here’s where to get OpenOffice.org (like Microsoft Word, for free).
