------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 2 12:02:15 +0000 2008 ------- Hi, this is Anjali Parmar again, and I've done some more homework on this issue. Today, I've read the Writer PDF Guide specifically on envelopes, and tried to use the in-built envelope tool in Writer to solve the "Print Envelope" problem. Open Writer, go to menu Insert -> Envelope, and a window comes up asking for the page formats of your new envelope, along with the way the envelope is supposed to be inserted into the printer (cool-at-first-sight). I enter a string of text into the Addressee box (in the Envelope Tab), and upon hitting the insert button, the string is pasted neatly into a text frame on a page. This is pretty much standard procedure. Note that in the Envelope Orientation (Printer Tab), I had opted for the far right-hand button (for aligning the page with the RHS of the printer). The "Print from bottom" option was checked (which means the envelope had to be inserted face down into the printer tray). However, when I proceeded to print the envelope, again as usual, NOTHING WAS PRINTED on either side, even though a printing sound came (as I had mentioned in my earlier post, the printing was actually happening on the other paperless side of the printer). I tried every possible setting, and in one case it worked somewhat... I set the Envelope Orientation to the Left Hand Side, but actually dropped the envelope on the RHS of the printer tray (how funny!). All the intended text DID print this time (success!), but voila... the layout had gone COMPLETELY HAYWIRE. Writer did not respect the margins I had set, instead the print came directly at the centre of the envelope. Moral of the story: The Envelope tool doesn't work either. So I'm going back to my earlier workaround, which is to print envelope addresses on an A4 paper. Writer thinks I'd insert A4 paper onto my printer, but I actuall feed the envelope instead - stuff just works! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
