OpenOffice.org pretty much offers you everything you need in an office suite. And much more. Recently I needed to print many addresses. Not personal addresses, but a database of addresses. It was my first time using the database application Base (offered as an alternative to Access), and a first time printing labels. It was not easy, but these steps should help at least me (if there will be a next time) to get me started immediately, instead of spending hours frustrating myself with some of the awkward design decisions made by the OpenOffice.org folks.

Prerequisites:

1. a filled OpenOffice.org database (.odb) of data you want to be printed on the labels.
2. sheets with labels (i used no name labels, its doable to adjust the label configuration for any specific type of label)
3. OpenOffice.org 3.1 (3.1 may not be neccessary, but that's the one I used)

So what are the required steps?<...
