Your header address doesn't need to be a special Style. I always just type it up, manually format and align the text as desired. But add additional lines that are left aligned and default style & format before you start formatting the header, then you can move down and continue typing.
You can also insert a text block (from Draw Functions toolbar) if this doesn't meet your formatting needs. Before starting with the letter body you can save your document as a Template to reuse for future letters. And I personally just do Save As and select Template, then save to my file system, rather then using LO's embedded Templates. Unless I want to modify the default (blank paper) template, that is.

I've been using libreoffice for years to make spreadsheets and am pretty happy with it. I'm a retired computer programmer. I just tried today to write a letter using libreoffice, but found myself completely confused. I tried to start by defining a style for the address block at the top right, but then the following Dear Sirs in the normal Text Body style also moved over to the right. So I gave up and found the Letter Wizard, but there doesn't seem to be any way to start with a blank piece of paper. It insists on some garbage image at the top. And then just totally confuses me with subsequent options. So how does one use libreoffice to write a simple letter? Is there a guide for idiots somewhere? TIA, Dave
