Mike, You have sent your request to an public OpenOffice users list. Please see: http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html for more information. That said, I agree with you that the OOo method of addressing envelopes is more difficult than with MS Office. However, others have recommended that you create an OOo template for your envelopes much in the same manner that you'd create a letter template. You can even use an MS Word envelope template if you wish. While this method isn't using a 'wizard' of sorts, it is reliable. Typically my response at this point is "Please reply only to [email protected]". However I fully appreciate your disability (more so than most would imagine) so if you'd like, drop me a line off-list (glxg at sbcglobal.net) and I'll be happy to assist in any way that I can.
