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 http://searchopensource.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid39_gci1146815,00.html 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. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
