WorldLabel.com is a great resource place to learn the dimensions of your particular label. I really hope OpenOffice.org realizes this is a problem and issues a fix right away, this manual manipulation to get the label size just right is a big pain in the you know what.

I am finding that once I close and open the same document later (lets say the next day or later that same day) to print the merged data, it has made all 14 labels of the first page the same thing where as before label 1 – 14 contained exclusive merged data (the goal). I am very careful not to click “Yes” when asked upon opening the document to “Update All Links” as I understand this will cause the same merged data to print on an entire page of labels.

Any fixes for this coming Open office?

Your problem with the spreadsheet itself needs a different solution though, I knocked up an example macro that should reformat the content (don't run this without saving a copy!) the way you need it, AS LONG AS every name and address really is 3 lines long. It assumes the data is in column A of sheet1.

sub RealignAddresses
rem ———————————————————————-
rem define variables

Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet As Object
Dim Cell As Object

Doc = thisComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)

dim namerow as integer
dim address1 as integer
dim address2 as integer
dim oldvalue as string
destinationrow=0
for f=0 to 800 step 3

namerow=f
address1=f+1
address2=f+2

rem——–name—————–
SourceCell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(0, namerow)
oldvalue = SourceCell.String

DestinationCell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(0,destinationrow)
DestinationCell.String = oldvalue

rem——–address1—————–
SourceCell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(0,address1)
oldvalue = SourceCell.String

DestinationCell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(1,destinationrow)
DestinationCell.String = oldvalue

rem——–address2—————–
SourceCell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(0,address2)
oldvalue = SourceCell.String

DestinationCell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(2, destinationrow)
DestinationCell.String = oldvalue

destinationrow = destinationrow+1
next f

end sub
