Description Neil 2016-12-07 23:02:43 UTC 
Description:
I wanted to make address labels. So I hit File> New> Labels> and I chose Herma 8801.

I fill in the first page without problem, 3 columns, 7 rows. But when I hit ctrl/enter to make new page the layout is just a plain sheet, not label format. Same thing happens if I use >Insert>Page break

Steps to Reproduce:
1.> File
2.> New
3.> Labels
4.> Chose Herma 8801
5.> Insert page break
6.> Label layout now lost

Actual Results:  
Label layout lost, cant make labels on more than 1 page at a time. Have to start new file for each page!

Expected Results:

Page Break command should make a new page using the same layout as previous page, eg 7x3 label "boxes" .


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No. This is the first time I have ever used Libre Office Writer so I should not need to reset my profile. It is also a very disappointing first experience.

My result is that it inserts an empty paragraph. I cannot insert a break that creates a new page.
I chose Herma endlos (did not have 8801).

It is useful if if you hit View > Non printing characters.
If you attempt to make a page break inside a label box you get a new paragraph in the same label box
If you  position cursor outside the label box and make a page break you do get a new page, but not the label format.

I also found it frustrating that you only drag in the margins for each individual label box, and not for the whole column, so you have to  do it over 20 times to align text properly, eg for printing inside each label.

Thanks for your interest
To Get Herma 8801 when making new labels in Format Area select Single Sheet, Brand> Herma A4, then Type> 8801. But I don't think it matters much which label layout you select.

Ok, I confirm it, but I realize this is not the workflow to deal with labels. Labels are generated, so if you want multiple pages with different data, you have to have the data available at generation time.

Closing as not a bug.
