Hi,
Anyone tried using Ray Favre's !LaBella on R 5?
I can get it to load but the icon where you type the address to put on
the label is greyed out & does nothing. I'm using 6.43 which I think is
the latest and is supposedly 32 bitted.
Using Aemulor makes no difference.

Works for me every Christmas :-)
LaBella 6.43, many different versions of RO5, normally all quite recent
at time of use of LaBella.

Tanks, Dave. Encouraged me to look again. Found the problem. At the start
it was loading a default label. Now I've set a favourite at startup it's working.

Runs OK on RISCOS 5.28 version 6.43
As an aside how do you set the label shape to square and keep it there?
I have tried modifying one of the square supplied labels but changing the label name to something more useful but Labella reverts to a rounded label when reloaded.
Looking in the label data directory at files LR-001 and LS-001 I cannot
see the tag that sets the shape.
A small point as I am printing to A4 card and then cutting.

From the manual
"The automatic association of one of these basic shapes to a label
definition file is effected via specific character sequences in the user-chosen label name, as follows:
If a label definition has the case-sensitive character sequence ?Square? somewhere in its label name then the label shape will be a square-cornered rectangle."
So in Labeldata.Ls001 I assume the title is "Avery J8414 (2×5) Square-corners"

I understand that the printer cannot print right to the top or bottom
edge but I can't work out how I'm supposed to deal with that. I hoped
that something designed for labels would have some work around but
not that I've found yet.
How do people get around this? Don't use the top and or bottom
labels?

Within LaBella the labels I'm using are 105 x 37mm and 16 on a
sheet and crucially there is no empty space between labels.
I have the row pitch set to 37mm and I can move the whole printed
page up and down using the label top inset. If set to 1.1 it equally
chops a little from the top label and bottom label.
I tried changing the label height but that seems to make no
difference.
I would have thought that there was a mechanism for dealing with
print margins but so far I've not discovered it?

Label stationery normally has a top and bottom margin for that
reason, e.g. https://www.avery.co.uk/sites/avery.co.uk/files/styles/scale_1_1_ratio_style/public/avery_importer/template/lineart/L7159-100_5014702177408_line.jpg
There are several references to margin in the Help.
Labella is *very* flexible, but it does take some getting used to
where to tweak what.
Note that you do not have to start printing at the first label on
the page, so used ones can be skipped.
Always best to experiment on blank sheets of paper and compare
positions with the real thing!

I haven't yet worked out how to skip labels during printing.

If you want to skip the first five labels on the sheet, just put
five blank lines before your first label.

Do you mean blank lines in the CSV file if not, where?

Better and easier to change 'Start at Label' in the Printing Setup
window!

I would imagine it must be lines with the appropriate commas in the
CSV file, thus printing nothing on the first row of labels
(whatever the number used/needed).
You may need the same at the bottom of the page!
Ah, yes I see. Thanks.

Doesn't that only work on the first page? That would mean I would
have to print each page on its own wouldn't it?

and crucially there is no empty space between labels.
But this is not how to avoid printing on the first line of labels on
*each* page - that I covered earlier. Your printer, the labella
definitions, and the physical labels must all agree.

Just checking these dimensions.
Presumably the width 105 so 2 across an A4 age = 210 so barely any
side margin (A4 is 210 label sheets may have a bit extra).
If it's 2 across and 16 on a sheet that must be 8 down. 37 x 8 =
296 which is the full A4 height so no top or bottom margin.
Label Top Inset can be set to 0.0 or even a negative figure.

I thought they did but I was surprised to find..
A4 paper 297mm long.
Paper size in driver set to 297mm.
A4 paper 210mm wide.
Paper size in driver set to 210mm.
A4 labels 298.5 long.
A4 labels 210.5mm wide
The labels claim to be 105mmx37mm but are to my eyes a fraction of
a mm larger. I'm not sure I could measure that tiny amount. but
210.5/8 gives 37.3mm which is probably correct-ish.
I didn't really want to set up another page size for the printer to
be honest and I've cheated my way out of trouble by placing 5 line
addresses at the end of each page.

The printer requires 5mm on all 4 sides. The driver is set to 5mm
all round. I don't know of any other margin settings.

Did you check the printable margins all agree?
You should be able to print 5mm down from the top of the top row of
labels,
and 5mm up from the bottom of the bottom row of labels.
As long as that is ok on all labels, you should be able to use all
of them, if you avoid printing on the top & bottom 5mm.
Label settings I would try...
Height = Col Pitch = 37.3
Width = Col Pitch = 105
Top Inset = Left Inset = 0
Line Spacing Top Inset = 5 (or even 6)
