Just tried out the following because I was personally interested:

* Create a new label
* Format it according to your taste, e.g. change the font/size
* File --> Templates --> Save
* Give it a name and folder --> Ok

Then you can create a label from this new template by using
File --> New --> Templates and Documents --> double-click your templ.

I tried making this new template the default
(in File --> Templates --> Organize --> set as default template)
but then every new "Text document" looks like a label.
This is because you define "default template" for the whole file 
type (Writer), to which both labels and ordinary text documents
belong.

This is done for each document type under
Tools --> Options --> (document type) --> Basic fonts

btw. I'm using OO 1.1 final.

For all these things I find the online help of oo pretty good.
It used to contain almost no useful information but for quite
some time now I have also found what I was looking for in there.

hope this helps
