Anne,
I don't print many envelopes and I don't make them part of the main document.
The OO letter function does not work quite as well as MS Office. It just
formats a page that happens to be envelope size. If there's a way for it to
automatically recognize the address from a letter, for instance, I don't know
how to accomplish that. I'm a simpleton, I guess. I just start a new
document, set the page format to envelope, type that addresses and print.
That suits me for the very few envelopes I do print.
I have not had any trouble with OO restarting itself. I've had a few other
difficulties with MDK 9.0, browsers that suddenly quit communication to
printer, Galeon freezing all the time, Software Updater has never worked, and
a few other annoyances. I fixed the browsers be removing and reinstalling.
I've not figured out Software Updater, it connects but won't download a thing
from any connected server.
Oh, well, now I'm wandering far off topic. I don't have any other ideas for
you on OO except to try the old Microsoft solution of "remove and reinstall".
I personally hate that approach as I want to know what's wrong and fix it
directly. Good luck.
