I did the same thing, create a template for #10 envelopes, when I was on LO 3.x. Even though I wasn't making lots of envelopes I seem to recall it was even harder to get a properly printed envelope than the steps provided in my response. Creating a template was the only way to consistently get a properly printed envelope. Since I've been on LO 5 I've only printed #10 envelopes using the menu features (didn't bring the template forward to the new installation) and haven't encountered any bug. I was surprised to see it rear its head when I did the testing to reply to Bill's message. Since it's happening to you on a different size perhaps the bug is a component of the envelope size or maybe the printer setting or a combination. Regardless, yes it is a very frustrating bug to deal with If I was a programmer I certainly would try and resolve that one. But I'm not. So can't do more than identify, develop workarounds, and hope for it to go away. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
