So then.., why not just design for those people in MS Word???

Lest the blind lead the blind, I point out that
Publisher has a better "table" formation, and
allows greater flexibility in moving pictures
around the cells.* Better Text Box too.

MSWord cannot seem to form a 4-cell table where
the margins go to the ends of the sheet, but
Publisher does.

My customers are all out to save money on label
printing for their short-run deliveries.* These
labels are of thin PET "laser" stock (A4) lanced
to 16/8/4/2 per A4 sheet, and work well in color
laser printers.* They do not wrinkle in damp
weather.

Commercial printing companies want runs of 500 or
more, and this is impossible with hundreds of
label types.** With the above system the customer
is burdened with stock of but one A4 sheet.

My preference is to use MS Excel or LO Calc. Excel has more granular
control positioning images/shapes/objects than Calc does, but both offer
superior 'table' layouts over the other components of MSO/LO hands down!

Note that anything you do in either spreadsheet app can easily be dropped
into their respective word processing counterpart without loss of quality
or content by either linking or embedding.

Good luck,

I've been using Avery's label products/software for about 20 years. Awesome
stuff for available label templates.

I do custom labels design more than standard, mostly on clear full-size sheets
which get cut out using a plotter since they are usually irregular shape. Using
a spreadsheet configured like graph paper makes designing very easy; -
embedding the design in a word processor is just for client convenience for
their own printing. I can print or plot up to tabloid size paper; - printer has
pass-thru capability (HP7610).

I use Avery stock for business-card printing.
They're way too expensive for everything else.
