- I use plain latex for envelopes, see the following files called 'envelope'
- and 'envelope.tex'. The package envbig is required.
That was very helpful, thank you. I created a makefile that does
basically the same thing and, after a little fiddling with margins I
can now print business envelopes.
bigenv: envelope-large.lyx
lyx --export latex envelope-large.lyx
latex envelope-large.tex
dvips -m -O 1in,2in -t landscape envelope-large.dvi
