Avery 5366 in LibreOffice Writer, step by step
-
Open the Labels dialog
In LibreOffice Writer, choose File › New › Labels; the dialog has Labels, Format and Options tabs, and all three matter for 5366.
-
Pick the 5366 template
On the Labels tab, choose the Brand “Avery Letter Size” and look for 5366 in Type. Brand and type lists vary by version; if 5366 is missing, use the next step.
-
Or enter 5366 by hand
On the Format tab enter the 5366 values: Horizontal pitch 4 in, Vertical pitch 0.667 in, Width 3.438 in, Height 0.667 in, Left margin 0.531 in, Top margin 0.5 in, Columns 2, Rows 15, Page width 8.5 in, Page height 11 in; save it for next time.
-
Edit once, copy to all
On the Options tab tick Synchronize contents and click New Document. Edit the top-left 5366 label, then click Synchronize Labels to copy it to all 30.
-
Merge a spreadsheet
For one 5366 label per row, pick your registered spreadsheet under Database and Table on the Labels tab and insert its fields; when you print, LibreOffice asks whether to print a form letter: answer Yes.
-
Print 5366 at 100 %
File › Print: paper US Letter, no “fit to page” scaling; a plain-paper test should show 15 rows of 5366 labels 0.667 in apart.
Worked example: 20 shelf labels on 5366
A merge of 20 rows prints 1 page of 30 Avery 5366 labels; the last page uses 20 positions and 10 stay blank. Preview the first page before sending all 1 to the printer.
In the LabelGrid designer the same 20 rows go into merge mode; the free version prints the first 30 (one full 5366 sheet) and Pro removes the limit. To reuse a part-used sheet, set the start position to the first empty label.
The LibreOffice Writer numbers for Avery 5366
| Horizontal / vertical pitch | 4 in / 0.667 in |
|---|---|
| Width / height | 3.438 in / 0.667 in |

| Columns / rows | 2 / 15 |
| Page width / height | 8.5 in / 11 in |
When 5366 labels print out of line in LibreOffice Writer
- 5366 labels print on the wrong paper size: check Format › Page Style matches US Letter; LibreOffice may default to your locale's paper.
- Only the first 5366 label changed: Synchronize contents was off. Open the Options tab again, tick it, and click Synchronize Labels.
- Text cut off on the first or last 5366 row: many printers leave about 1/4″ (6 mm) unprinted, and 5366 has 0.5 in at the top and 0.5 in at the bottom, so keep LibreOffice Writer text 0.063 in inside each label.
About the Avery 5366 sheet
Avery® 5366 (filing labels) has 30 labels of 2/3″ × 3 7/16″ per US Letter sheet. The same layout is sold under other Avery codes too (5066, 5166, 5266, 5268, 5368, 5378 and more), so these settings work for them as well.
Common jobs for 5366: file folder labels, binder spine labels, shelf labels and office labels. Avery® 5366 is named only to identify compatible sheets; LabelGrid is not affiliated with Avery.

Frequently asked questions
Does LibreOffice have Avery 5366?
LibreOffice's label database includes many Avery codes under “Avery Letter Size”; if 5366 is missing in your version, the Format tab values above recreate it.
What are the measurements of Avery 5366?
30 labels of 3.438 in × 0.667 in on US Letter, 2 across and 15 down. On LibreOffice's Format tab: pitch 4 in × 0.667 in, margins 0.531 in left and 0.5 in top.
Why do my 5366 labels from LibreOffice Writer drift down the page?
Either the Vertical pitch is not 0.667 in or the print dialog scaled the page; at 97 % the last row moves about 0.315 in. Print at 100 %.
Can I skip LibreOffice Writer entirely?
Yes. The LabelGrid designer at the top of this page is set to Avery 5366: type one label or paste a list and download a PDF aligned to all 30 positions, free and in your browser.
