At it's most simplest, open Writer, select Insert > Envelope. On the
Format tab, select the size envelope you want to use, and on the
Envelope
tab, enter in your sender/addressee details, and click on New Doc.
Print
as required.
Granted, it may be nice it OO.o came with envelope templates you can
select
from the Template wizard, but then I've created half a dozen templates
using the above process, and saved them in my Templates folder, for
quick
access. Took about 15 minutes.
Exactly my point! Excoriating the product when unable to cope with such
a simple task as this, and then threatening to throw ones toys out of
the pram and pay several hundred beer tokens for an inferior product
doesn't strike me as the height of intellectual attainment :-)
I think a bigger problem than OOo Writer as far as envelopes is
concerned, is
the poor designs of most printers as far as envelope handling is
concerned.
Most of today's consumer model printers are designed more for printing
photographs than for light office duty, and so don't handle envelopes
well,
if at all. If a printer were really designed for envelope printing,
it would
have a separate paper bin just for holding envelopes, and a paper path
designed not to jam with envelopes.
Hardly an OOo problem, but again the solution is obvious: print address
labels and stick them on your envelopes. As the little dog said to his
human companion as he trotted around the large boulder blocking their
path, "what problem?" With acknowledgements to "BC".

I have found that printing envelopes in OO is not all that much
more difficult than in Word 97, just different. Once I learned
how to do it in OO, it's no big deal.
