I still can not use the envelope printing features in Writer. None
of them seem to work right that I want to use, namely center-fed #
6 3/4 and #10 (North American).
It's a real pain to create a working envelope template; at least I've
never found a way. Well, one way, by putting a box on a letter size
sheet and printing the envelope as though it were a full letter size
sheet but it's clumsy and inefficient.
I've even tried opening Word envelopes with Writer but the result
is dismal.
Has anyone written, or created a library or whatever, of creating
envelopes with OOo?
It's hard to believe that in all this time that it hasn't been better
addressed.

Hi Twayne
Have you worked through
http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/Print_An_Envelope.html
or
http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2005/12/printing_envelo.html
I have for years now had a DL envelope template which I've adapted a
few printers over the time and use very regularly. I did as you
proposed, started printing onto a blank sheet, so I could work out the
orientation, and it "just works." So I just copy the address from my
letter and it has the return address ready to go.

Hmm, thank you very much, Russell. I'm tempted to say yes, I read
those, but ... obviously I haven't. Either that or they are
considerably changed. Yeh! That's it; they changed! :^)
I did get a few good hints from the URLs, so they were worth your
posting. Thanks for your assistance and time.
Best,
Twayne
Hi, Twayne,
I've been using a template for a #10 envelope for quite some time on my
LaserJet 1012, which is center-fed, face-up, flap-to-the-right. It works
every time. I just double-click the text box for the "To" address and
input what I want. The "From" address can be changed, also, but I rarely
do so.
I'll post a link to it on http://needleswebs.com/OOoDocs.html
