![]() ![]() I did find one template (I think it was 5824) already made, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to apply it to a database recordset.! I did attempt to search this forum, but got frustrated that this specific question / feat / topic hasn’t been addressed yet (unless I missed it, for which I am truly sorry if that’s the case).Īm I looking in the right area by coming to this forum? I could really use some pointers and direction on this one. I was ecstatic to find out that LibreOffice supports many different labels, but I fell flat on my face when I realized that this specific label (5697) is not in the template list. It would appear that the software can not handle more than about 80-90 records at a time… it either crashes, or doesn’t process the records after some arbitrary point, and Avery’s online help is a step below dismal in this area. With over 3000 records, that tends to get old real quick. ![]() I can not go to a specific record (I can go to the very first record, or the very last record, and then advance one by one up or down, but not to a specific record). I have been trying to work around a couple of serious drawbacks to the Avery Designer Pro software that I would normally use on their 5697 label… My database is about 15 years worth of sermons for my church, and it is used for when someone wants to get a copy of a sermon burned to a CD (or a copy of the video onto a DVD), and you would be surprised how often that is. I am needing to design a form in Base (or any combination of software within LO if that be the case) to display and print CD labels that use a database which contains over 3000 records (not the spinning kind that makes sound). ![]() Time Machine is not a solution IMHO, it is still a problem because it is a Hard Drive and connected to your Mac.I am a new user to LibreOffice, and I’m finding my current quest to be a challenge. Since we moved to such high capacity drives, keeping everything safely backed up has become a tedious headache. The spare 2 slots I use for rewriteable disks that hold the disk catalogues and pdfs of content plus a text print out of the list.īelieve me this system has evolved from several broken and expensive predecessors! □ītw I can not wait for the cheap, durable high capacity disks that are just over the horizon. I buy cheap binders that hold 102 discs each and have 100 discs in each one so that I can readily find the numbers by the 001-100 on each spine. I add a prefix for whether it is artwork, photos, audio etc to break up the collection. Use a numbering system, that way you know if something is missing in the sequence and store them in those large sleeved binders for CD/DVD collections. It works out better to have a cataloguing system like I also pretty much gave up on labelling per se. They too quickly and easily get separated. Replacing a SuperDrive is not inexpensive.ĭefinitely write only on the CD/DVD, but I long ago gave up on putting information on sleeves or cases. Those who say, "That's never happened to me." Need to add, 'yet' to the end of their sentence. The labels can shred while the disc is spinning, they can peel off and stay inside the drive while the disc pops out, and they can result in discs sticking in the drive. About once a week a customer comes into our shop with a computer that has had a paper label induced failure. However, unless your printer is one of the models that can print directly onto a disc and unless your CD or DVD is a printable disc for that printer, I'm going to yell out "Warning Will Robinson!" Paper labels and the slot loading drives that come with our iMacs and Mac notebooks don't get along. exe file will unzip and provide the Word template you need. exe file and I'm not expecting to find a program, I'll try unzipping it on my Mac. Since Windows users are often relatively unknowledgeable about their computers, many companies archive files as a self extracting zip file so the Windows user doesn't have to know how to unzip. ![]()
