There is no image. It just occurred to me that what I have described as the
strip along the top was the page's top margin. I can reduce that with the
Format -> Page menu. The problem is, that the text boxes don't move up with
the margin, i.e. the space occupied by the margin moves to a spot between the
top edge and the return address box. If by way of contrast I create an
envelope to be printed the way it looks (what would be "landscape" view) the
"New Doc" button gives me a graphic with no margins. I do have a printer
that will print like that, but the sheet feeder in my default printer won't
open wide enough. As soon as I change the printer setting to what I need,
the graphic disappears and I have the sheet-of-paper view. Why doesn't the
template I want look like the others?
I am doing this under Mandriva Linux with Mandriva's package. The problem may
be there. On the other hand, in Windows 98 SE, using a download of OO 2.02
for Windows, the box to type the address won't open up. I can't type in it,
the address from the letter isn't automatically transferred, and I can't drag
the box open to make room to type in it - it springs shut again as soon as I
release the mouse.
