I'm using OOo Writer v3.01 (OOO300m15 build 9379) on WinXP SP2. The

Whenever I write a letter on OOo and then use |Insert|Envelope| to
print the envelope on a #10 envelope, the recipient's address wants
to print too far to the right.
When I look at the document formatting
(|Envelope|Format|Addressee|Positions|), the "From left" field reads
4.75". But when I get to the "Print Preview" screen, that's only
where the "Addressee" box starts. The actual text is INDENTED an
additional two inches -- putting it at the extreme right-hand side
of the envelope.
The only things I can see that is likely to cause this are the
paragraph or paragraph style properties of the address text. How are
you inserting the address? If you type it on the Envelope tab of the
Envelope dialogue, there should be no problem, but note that if you
copy and paste it from the associated letter (or elsewhere), then the
formatting of the source text will be carried over. If that is the
problem, the solution is simply to use Edit | Paste Special... (or
Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste, and choose "Unformatted
text" from the available options. That pastes the text but allows it
to inherit the formatting of the destination.
Alternatively, the address text in the envelope apparently has the
paragraph style "Addressee". Has this style become altered to create
the effect you see? Right-click in the address and select Edit
Paragraph Style... | Indents & Spacing | Indents. Is there a
non-zero figure (perhaps your two inches?) for "Before text" or
"First line"? You can correct it there.
I trust this helps.
