[ubuntu-uk] gLabels

[norman]

This is a most useful piece of software for, as it's title suggests,
making and printing a good range of labels. I would like to use it to
make some inserts for DVD cases but, while it has the template to
produce labels for DVDs, there is no template for inserts.

In the help file there are instructions for making your own labels but I
do not understand the procedures. I have tried but I must be too thick
or my brain is not quite as agile as it was 70 years ago. The template I
would like is for the Avery product J8437 and although templates are
available for all the Avery products, free of charge, they will only
work well with windows. It is possible to load them into OpenOffice but
there it seems to be three separate tables and very awkward to use. The
real frustrating bit is that Avery will supply software to handle their
templates, also free of charge, which will only work with windows. I
have tried running it with Wine with only partial satisfaction.

Well, that's the preamble and now for the real stuff. What I am looking
for is some clever person who would be prepared to help a fellow Ubuntu
user and put into plain language what I need to do to make and install a
template for the insert, please.

I feel I am being very cheeky by asking for help but all my other
efforts have met with failure. (Did I hear you mutter cheeky s-d)
