To merge addresses and print the envelopes: 1) Choose File > Print.

To create one document containing all envelopes, the mail merge function is still the way to go, but rather than inserting an envelope with a letter, the envelope must be the letter (document).Ĭreate a document with the default page style matching the size of your envelopes. a letter: you use a letter template and include the envelope, so the address from a data source (database, spreadsheet, address book, …) can be inserted in two places. Guess I gotta pay them Canuks instead of a shrink.The insert envelope function is used to insert an envelope for a single document, e.g. 'Cause LO and OO lose their minds when it comes to something as ordinary as printing the most commonly used envelope in what has to be a large user base for these office suites. When one needs control of almost everything in a document get Word Perfect or something other than LO or OO. I assume this because a US letter size paper can easily be made a default document size. ![]() I’ve been to this rodeo before all one does is waste time and envelope stock trying to work out that which appears to be fairly straightforward. The addressee information was so low that it was almost off the envelope and it was indented about 5.25"/1325mm from the left edge of the envelope. 75"/22mm from the left edge (as we look at it). The first line of the return address was 1.5"/3cm from the top and inset. So today I attempted to create an envelope and up came some BS format that sure isn’t a #10 envelope. The addresses looked right when coming from my little LaserJet. I had a #10 envelope worked out a few weeks ago. But in my experience with many iterations of LO and OO, it doesn’t. Believe it or not the program purports to recognize a #10 envelope. When it comes to envelopes, all I have ever wanted to do is print a damn #10 envelope. But I get no respect when it comes to envelopes. I even kicked a few bucks to Libre Office. I’m using LO 4.2.6.3 (with Windows 7 pro) because I want to use open source software. ![]() System: Mac Pro tower (model designation 3,1) running Mac OS 10.6.8, with gobs of RAM I would be most grateful for instructions or work-arounds for printing envelopes … and regular 8.5" x 11" sheets too, for that matter! Problems with this function always drive me back to MicroSuck to get work done. In my experience with all OpenSource versions of Writer-OpenOffice, StarOffice, and now LibreOffice, printing a #10 business size envelope has been difficult or impossible. Since the flap is not a straight side the envelope does not feed straight and the address text is slanted a few degrees, so envelopes printed in this program are unsuitable for business or professional use. So far the only way I am able to print such an ‘envelope’ is widen the envelope feed guides on my HP Laserjet 1022 printer and print the envelope with the flap opened. As we all know, a #10 envelope should be slightly over 4" high. The ‘Header’ command in the Insert menu does not remove the header or alter the total document size. My new copy of Libre Office 3.6 creates business size envelopes that have a two-inch top header by default, resulting in a 6" total document height when it comes time to print. ![]()
