Then you can got to "Format / Page" and then choose an envelope style you want to use.
I know that Word has the envelope labels are automated, but with automation you get limitation on how it looks. I never liked MSO's version of this process. When I use to need to print envelopes, I made a template from the Page formatting options with everything created except the address to where it is going. All I have to do is cut/paste the address in the letter and then paste it to the envelope template, and print it. Mail-merge options fail me for printing envelopes, so I use #10 windowed versions. For me, the best option still it making a template of the "standard #10 envelope" and then add the addressed from the letters when needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
