Brian,

We all work a bit differently and I have have a folder on my desktop 
with many .odt files that I can double click on that open in 
OpenOffice.  I  then fill in the areas needed, be they for an envelope 
or a custom made business letter, etc. and then print.  If I need to 
save the document, I just give it a file name and  a place to live, 
otherwise I close the file without saving.  I choose not to use the 
built-in template feature in OpenOffice, whatever makes you smile!

Shawn,

Attached is a #10 envelope "template" with your name in the Sender box, 
just fill in the correct data and save the changes.  You can change the 
fonts to what ever you like.  Leave the addressee blank until needed 
then just fill in that info when needed and print, then don't save those 
changes and it reverts back to just your sending data and ready for the 
next use!

Windows 98 was an OS.  The OP probably means Microsoft Office 97.
