When inserting envelope it does not appear as proper size

Post by gpw20 »

I am using windows 10 with OpenOffice 4.1.3. when I insert an envelope the page is oversize causing the envelope to print too low on the face. I am using a canon mg 5700. This problem has developed since i got this printer but it is wrong when I insert into teh document. I have tried various sizes and nothing works.

In OpenOffice. when you format the address for the envelope, have you changed the page sise in OpenOffice to be that of the Envelope (/Format /Page : Page tab and select the envelope size from the page size dropdown)?

Welcome to the forum.

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the OOo v3.3 Writer Manual. When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.

See Printing envelopes in Chapter 5 - Printing, Exporting, Faxing, and E-Mailing.

If this solves the problem, please view your first post in this thread and click the Edit button (top right in the post) and add [Solved] in front of the subject.
