My idea was actually to select an Avery label-number and create a template 
out of that. Which means the most of the stuff you ask for is known becuase 
it is part of the specification for these labels.

But that might mean publishing the specification instead of the templates, 
nasty things these NDA's...

David; IIRC we don't have the option to do wizards at the moment, right? What 
about creating a filter-base and outputting the template the way a filter 
provides a document?
