Hello Gigi, Well, you made me curious! I opened the Modern Envelope template and it worked as normal for me. I interacted with the body and pressing the right arrow highlighted each part of the address in turn.
I then stopped interacting with the body and the page, then interacted with the page again and VO said "4 items". There was a text box with my address already in it and the name of my organisation to the left of that. OK, I cheated! I was curious about the layout, so I got out my trusty optacon and looked at the screen. The sender's company name and address are up in the top left corner, and the addressee's name and address somewhere in the middle. I have my mouse cursor set to ignore the others, which might make a difference.
