Hi Dan
Thanks for writing. I had not downloaded the most recent guide just an
older one so now have the newer version. Haven't had a chance to play with
the newest version of OO yet and am heading out on a trip so it will have to
wait. Did take a quick look at the chapter you mentioned and it appears to
be the same situation. I know how to print eps in OO it just takes a lot of
time to set up and do. So guess I won't get rid of my trusty typewriter
anytime soon. I have to type far more eps then letters in my job. I just
was hoping that someone had made this an easy task in OO. It is in Word and
is why I keep an old version of MSOffice on one CPU.

Have you looked at the chapter on printing in the Writer Guide at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/? It is
chapter 5. You might find the chapter on Mail Merge also important.
You can download the entire Writer Guide or some of the individual
chapters if you choose to do so. The part of printing envelopes
begins on page 5 of Chapter 5 in the Writer Guide.
