Re: Avery
I try to use and promote Worldlabel when possible. They offer templates
for all of their labels using OOo, see the following:

[scroll down to the bottom of the page]
http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/openoffice-template.htm
<http://blog.worldlabel.com/mail-merge-in-openofficeorg-everything-you-need-to-know>
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/ooodesignedlabels

You won't get that from Avery  :-)
