The problem for labels on Pages is formatting.

Can anyone tell me how to turn off all formating for pages. I have selected a BLANK DOCUMENT which is anything but blank. You can simply type up your labels and (for instance) space them out so that they are say, 2 wide and 10 lines per page. The problem is Pages won't let you turn off formatting so there is a header and footer that gets in the way of aligning the sheets of lables from Avery or others. I am getting the middle three rows printed acceptably but the rest are out of register thanks to the header and footer Formating... Any one have a solution?

In Pages '09, open a Blank Layout Template (see Sidebar) from the Template Chooser:

Inspector > Document > Document > uncheck Header & Footer

In Pages 5:

Toolbar > Document > Document > uncheck Header & Footer also uncheck Document Body

In Pages 09 if nothing is in the Header or Footer they will not affecr the page's labels.

Layout template has Headers and Footers off by default.

Thank you Peter and FruHuilda. After I wrote my comment I realized that my version of Pages had a FORMAT icon and a DOCUMENT icon just as Peter suggested. I found that by reducing the size of the TOP and BOTTOM margin, I was able to align the labels. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP

Do not rule out the Avery label support in the Contacts application.
