I am starting the long trek from WordStar/DOS to Libre Office/Ubuntu. I
have many forms to create, about 6 are envelopes. Since our Dell Laser
printer does not like to print envelopes en masse, I'm giving LO a go.
Problem is in 'help', I am directed to 'insert envelope'. By insert, I

Which version of Ubuntu and what desktop environments are you using?
Ubuntu 13.xx? 14.04?
Unity? MATE?, KDE?, GNOME?
To be honest, I do not know what to say. I use the Ubuntu-based [13.xx]
OS on my main desktop - Linux Mint 16 with MATE. The "window
