Ok point taken, Different problems have different solutions. Out of
interest how does star office handle envelopes. If the oo.org project
came from staroffice code, if it works in star office the code must
therefore be around somewhere.

That's a very provincial solution suitable for hobbyists.
At the risk of wandering way off topic for this list:
Let's apply your solution to a payroll of, say, 1000 employees. Now
assume each is producing only one letter per week that requires an
envelope. Let's further assume an average gross wage of $15/hr. I
hope you agree that these are minimalist numbers, but when all the
calculations are complete, that is still $1250.00 being spent *every
week* on a "free" product just for this one issue. ( ((5*1000)/60)*15 )
I have always maintained that until basic functions like envelope
printing on *all* printers are reliable, OOo is little more than a
flash in the pan that doesn't stand a chance of being at the top of
the heap. Nothing has happened since OOo 1.0.0 when viewed from my
knothole to alter my assessment of its competitiveness. This isn't an
outcome I desire, just an unvarnished take on reality.

legible and looks far more professional than hand written addresses.
I am not a computer expert by any means but there are ways to work
round a problem. granted it's not ideal for all printers, but whats
wrong with simply printing the address on normal paper, cutting it
out and sticking it to the envelope, or as suggested in another
part of this thread, use lables.
Incedently my address document can be saved so it just needs changing
if I am sending a letter to someone else, even though it's just as
quick to open a new document,

This is a hot button of mine too I'm afraid. So far, the only
reliable way to print an envelope here is very time consuming in
that I'll compose it with VIM, load that into the gimp, rotate it 90
degrees, and print from the gimp. If its not formatted right,
repeat by adding more/less spaces/lines etc until everything is
where it should be. FWIW, business sized envelopes need to be fed
portrait style in my C82, hence the 90 degree rotate.
