Your question was/is: > (1) What is the point of the envelope style? According to the > Stylist, the page style becomes "Envelope" after an envelope is > formed from the Insert|Envelope wizard - but the page style > apparently has no connection to what was defined in the Envelope > wizard. Don't be anal and reply with "So, you don't use the "Envelope" page style?" when I've provided you with an example on how I *use* the style. I provided you with a proper example of the point of the envelope style. I also showed you how I *use* the style in it's most basic form. There is no "Insert|Envelope" _wizard_. It is a standard insert command (Insert|Envelope) available on any Writer document. When you click it, you'll see that in simply inserts an envelope _page_ above your document/letter etc. >>> (2) Where should the envelope size be set? - In the Envelope page >>> style, the Envelope wizard Format tab, or the Printer tab >>> (Setup->Advanced), or ... ? >> >> See above.

Yes John, I do indeed favor using the Envelope page style.

The "wizard" is nothing more than a built in feature that adds an envelope to your letter etc. When you File|Wizard|Letter and then Insert|Envelope it calls the Envelope style to create the envelope for the letter. When you open a basic Writer document and File|Insert Envelope, you get a new page above the document to include an envelope. In those cases it also adds an return address and address to block. You can modify the envelope, or say a #10, by clicking on the envelope *page* and selecting Format|Page. The "wizard" uses the Envelope style to create the page. If you wish to dig further, then I'd suggest downloading source code & exploring from there. I doubt that you'll find anyone else on the OOo users list that will bother to dig further.
