             Bug #: 51770
           Summary: Label creation ignores Horizontal pitch
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.4 release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at zootal.com


Select File, New, Labels. Select a two column label, I'm using avery 5164.
Select Format tab. You want to customize the label size as follows:

Reduce the Width, and increase the horizontal pitch by the same amount. This
should give a narrower label with a gap between columns such that the right
column is still properly placed. The graphical designer "preview" reflects
this, but when you generate a new document, you will find that the horizontal
pitch you entered is ignored, and the right column of labels is shoved right up
against the left column. If you try to print the labels, the right column
overlaps the left column, effective ruining the entire page of labels.

The only fix so far is to customize the label by removing the second column.
Print half of the labels. This prints labels on the left column only. Then
rotate the label page and put it back in the printer and print the other half
of the labels (did that make sense? I hope so, because it works fine, just a
bit of a pain doing it this way).
