Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

Designing Labels and Business Cards

Using File > New > Labels for designing business cards, as business cards may be regarded

as a simplified, special kind of label, is often the best method. Like labels, all business cards

are the same and, as labels, can be filled with different contents, graphics, data obtained from

a database, or they can be marked with serial numbers.

1. Select File > New > Labels to open the Labels dialogue.

2. On the Labels tab, under Format, define the label format.

Writer contains many formats of commercially available sheets for labels, badges,

business cards etc. User-defined formats can also be added.

3. On the Labels tab, under Inscription, choose what to write on the labels.

This often involves database fields, so that the labels can be printed with varying content,

when sending “Form Letters” for example. But it is equally possible to have the same

text printed on every label.

Use the pull-down lists to select the database and table from which the data fields are

obtained. Click on the big arrow to transfer the selected data field into the inscription area.

Press Enter to insert a line break. Entering spaces and any other fixed text is also

possible.

Using the Format tab, define custom label formats, not covered by the predefined

formats. To be able to do this, the label type on the Labels tab must be set to “Use r-

defined”. On the Options tab, specify whether all labels or only certain ones are to be

created.

4. Enable Synchronize contents check box on the Options tab. If this is checked , only one

(the top left label) has to be entered and edited while the remainder will be repeated

identically

5. Upon clicking New Document, a small window opens with the Synchronize Labels

button. Enter the first label. When the Synchronize Labels button is clicked, the current

individual label is copied to all the other labels on the sheet.

6. Click on New Document to create a new document with the settings that have been

entered.

7. Print the new document.

Printing Labels With Serial Numbers

Printing lottery tickets or entry tickets with serial numbers on them is quite easy. This is how

to do it:

1. Select File > New > Labels. This opens the Labels dialogue.

2. On the Labels tab, under Format, select the format in which to print.

3. Tickets, label tags or rolls are available from specialist suppliers and are often made from

stiff paper with tear-off perforations, or as self-adhesive labels on a backing material.
