I have seen problems with #10 envelopes raised some time ago. The solution is to use a similar size envelope like the DL and that is good enough. Try it out on a plain sheet of paper first to see how it lines up with your envelopes. If this is still a problem with the latest version of OOo, perhaps a #10 envelope user should post a bug report. I'm in the UK, so I don't use it.
