Thank it helped I have been able to sort it out. You are getting another
user in your family and sure will be advising many others to switch over.

Any suggestions for office outlook

Printing envelopes in OpenOffice "just works". You probably need to read 
some of the documentation. But first, you need to understand how *your* 
printer handles envelopes. For example, my printer wants the envelope 
(standard DL size for European A4 paper folded in three) fed short edge 
first flap down. Therefore the OpenOffice page needs to be formatted in 
landscape mode. If that does not "position the address well", you need 
to experiment. To save money, cut some normal paper to the same size as 
your envelopes and use that in a trial and error process till you find 
where to position the address. Once you have found the right place you 
can create a "template" with a text box in the appropriate position. You 
then enter the address (copy/paste, perhaps, from the letter) into that 
box.

If the paper jams, perhaps your printer cannot handle envelopes. They 
are thicker than normal paper and this often upsets printers. Check the 
maximum weight paper your printer can handle.

Next look up Envelopes in the Help.

Also, read

Also read about "Template" and "Text Box" in the Help.

If that doesn't help, come back here explaining exactly what happens 
after you have carefully followed those instructions.
