I don't think a lot needs to be done regarding ease of use. OOo provides almost the same functionality, in much the same way as Word 97, for instance. The only extras that I would like to see are: - An envelope icon that I can put on the toolbar (with Customize) instead of the word 'Envelope' - Automatic insertion of the Address using highlighted text in the main document (as Word does) The big problem with envelope printing is that it has always been buggy. 1.1.4 was getting there but 2.0 betas regressed to old bugs which may still be unresolved. OOo has a good list of envelope sizes (plus User Defined) and the rest should be down to the printer drivers.
