            Bug ID: 138805
           Summary: LO label printer TERRIBLE
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: michael at casparinstitute.org

Description:
Standard labels, should be simple, isn't now, and hasn't ever been.
First, moving from a spreadsheet to a mailing label should be a simple wizard
step, not a multiple step convert to database, identify fields, mail merge
nightmare. Next, if one ever does get what LOOKS like a printable label set,
the printing is usually off and uncorrectable -- in my case, the first column
of labels truncates the left side of the first character on a pretty vanilla
printer )(Canon iX6520. ANNOYING! Of my 30 labels, I have 20 usable ones. TAKE
A LOOK AT WORD PERFECT FOR THE WAY IT OUGHT TO WORK.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create mailing list as a spreadhsheet
2.Ask someone skilled in clerical work but not a LO jockey to TRY to make
mailing labels. Follow online HELP instructions
3.After stumbling around in the dark -- MAYBE she gets a usable label set
4. Print. 

Actual Results:
Sometimes, upon saving, at the end of step 3, the whole new file just
disappears. (about 66% of the time)
Occasionally you get a printable set (or reopen a saved file that actually has
data in it (50%)) and discover, upon printing, that the first column of labels
is too far to the left, so the first third of the first letter does not print,
rendering that column of labels unusable


Expected Results:
30 usable labels per sheet


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
